My Father was a die hard Rosevelt Democrat but with very conservative values. It was in Regan's eight years where he began to see the light. He voted for Jimmy Carter, but after eight prosperous years, the end of the cold war, and a new respect for America around the world it open his eyes and he grew to love Ronald Reagan. He became his hero in fact. He voted for Republicans ever since.
How fitting he should go to heaven the same year as his hero. God bless them both.
My father too, a devoted husband, a true Christian, a patriot himself being a combat vet of World War II in the Pacific, a loving father, grandfather and great grandfather...returned home to his God and Savior in this same year.
We are losing some great souls...may we all rise to the challenge and find the will to see them replaced...to follow their example and lead and keep American free and strong!
