Hell yeah... I was in Samoa when Reagan passed. I cried. I had just mourned the passing of my baby sister, and then I mourned the passing of one of the greatest Presidents of my lifetime... and I was only a kid when he was top dog.
You know what, I'll admit it... I still cry. I'm man enough to admit that. Reagan was genuine, and I think Bush is too. Honest truth.
I came home from American Samoa before Ronald Reagan was elected. Luckily, I was too young to remember Jimmy Carter. I started kindergarten when Reagan took office.
FWIW, I don't think much of a man who can't cry.
Jesus did, the prophets did. That pretty well settles that for me.
