To fallen soldiers let us sing Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing Our broken brothers let us bring To the Mansions of the Lord.
No more bleeding, no more fight No prayers pleading through the night Just divine embrace, eternal light In the Mansions of the Lord.
Where no mothers cry and no children weep We will stand and guard though the angels sleep Through the ages safely keep The Mansions of the Lord.
Randall Wallace
It is just wonderful all the people!
Well said -- I think our battlecry needs to be Win One for the Gipper!
It was like when President Bush spoke today President Reagan had given him his sure manner of speaking.
Lol! True, unfortunately.
I believe you are wrong. He was on Fox.

Way to go Chris! You've got an open mic!
Yes, it is great to be here with all these FRiends to share this.
she must watch - its history in the making.
The greatest President of the 20th Century... #2 or #3 in history?
Second best of the 20th Century. I'll take Teddy over Reagan anyday.
Interesting question. I originally, automatically, put Reagan behind TR, because I love TR so much. But, reflecting on his accomplishments and challenges, I think President Reagan accomplished more than President T. Roosevelt. Here's how I see it:
Roosevelt: Built up US Navy, made US an international power. Settled Sino-Japanese war. Signed anti-trust law. Built up national park system. Presided over a time of great prosperity and growth (1905-1913)
Reagan: Restored US optimism. Reduced inflation from 15% to 7%. Reduced taxes. Destroyed the idea of raising taxes as a political manuever. Reduced interest rates from 21% to 10%. Delivered Grenada from communism. Built up Strategic Defense Initiative and US military, leading to fall of communism: all of Eastern Europe in 1989-1992 and USSR in 1992. Delivered Nicaraugua and El Salvador from Communism. Agreed to mutual build down of nuclear weapons with the USSR. Overcame assassination attempt and hostile media, and reluctant allies.
I think President Reagan did more under greater adversity than President Roosevelt.

Yes. I lost one grandmother in 2000 (to Alzheimer's, no less), and another early this year.
This ain't easy for me...
Tipper was beside him.
I think we'll see a lot of emotion tonight during the final farewell.
California is Reagan Country.
Don't the bashers realize that this is Reagan's HOME?
Oh my God, the monument with epitaph is powerful enough, but the chair to the side, awaiting its favorite...[sniffle].
I hope Nancy is seeing this. Is she in this motorcade? How about Maggie Thatcher?
