We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."One of the great Reagan lines.

I read an article on MSNBC.com today that described the whole thing. The thing that I noticed that struck me as odd was that they mentioned that it was believed that the astronuats were alive when the cabin hit the water (at 200 mph) I never really heard what the final conclusions were on what happened to the atronauts. Does anyone know?

Wow- spoken in such everyday language and straight from the heart. No wonder it is so well remembered and touched us all.

Sad commemoration ping. NBC found a way not to mention Reagan either last night or tonight in their coverage on the 20th anniversary of the Challenger disaster. CBS played the end of Reagan's speech tonight. I can't remember the Challenger disaster without also remembering President Reagan's comforting presence and words. One without the other just isn't "history."
