I missed this live b/c of work, but I made sure to see it tonight when I got home.
Helping to celebrate the life of President Reagan, I was heartened by the soothing words given by Senator John Danforth and Rev. Michael Wenning. Their words were full of grace and kindness.
President Reagan spoke of that shining city on a hill. Those who caught a glimpse of the scenery in the hills of Simi Valley during the sunset have witnessed one of the most beautiful sights in this great country.
I hope one day soon to visit this place so I can pay my respects to the man who was my president during my childhood, and the leader who I came to respect as I became old enough to understand the great things he did. He has been released from the chains of this terrible disease. He is free, just as the millions of people now who were once enslaved by the heavy hand of communism. They, and I, and the world are forever in his debt.
