Don't know how many Beanie Baby fans are out there, but I know FReepers love Ronald Reagan!!! And I'll be happy to buy a few of these bears to help out The Navy League.

This is all very cool, but you might want to be careful about posting this kind of stuff.

Back on April 10th of this year, I started a thread on Ty Inc.'s "Hero" beanie that was released in support of our troops in Iraq (with all profits going to the USO).

The body of the message I posted was thus:


Quoting from the Ty web site: In support of the USO proudly serving the Men and Women who server our country! 100% of Ty's profits from the original purchase of the Hero Beanie Baby will be donated to the USO. The poem with these bears reads simply:

We all pray
When day is done
That freedom comes
To everyone!


That thread was yanked about two minutes later by the Admin Moderator for "solicitation."

No other explanation was given. ...but I think an explanation is in order concerning what appears to be a double-standard. It is great that we're supportive of our former President, but it's equally important that we support our current troops.

FYI: here's a picture of Ty Warner (maker of the famed Beanie Babies) with Nancy Reagan at the debut of the Ronnie Beanie.

WOW, I'm glad I stumbled onto this link. My daughter was just the right age to drag us both through "Beanie-mania" a few years ago. She's got dozens! Maybe scores! I'd started to feel kinda silly about it all, but it's great to see that TY supports truly worthy causes, and not LEFT WING PSYCHO ones. Now I feel better about the whole thing.

I will definately buy this beanie, if I can find it.

This has really brightened my day, my week, my month.

Thank you very much for posting this!
