The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. 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.”
- Ronald Reagan
Thank you all for posting this story and President Reagan’s speech excerpt.
I remember the moment the tragedy was reported.
I was shocked, as were my customers at Armstrong Tire Headquarters.
I miss Ronald Reagan and the sober adults who lead us during those years.
God rest the Challenger crew and the Gipper.
