I still get tears in my eyes when I listen to an old Reagan speech. I think he was very sincere in is love for America, and for old fashioned American principles.
Your post made tears in my eyes along with a deep longing and sadness for our country. Hearing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing This is My Country gets my eyes wet too.
yes, but, the legacy of Reagan will still be O'Connor and Kennedy, who disagreed with him on 90 percent of matters.
I was proud to have served in the Army under President Reagan. I'm still waiting for the "love of country" to come back NATIONWIDE, and with full hearts. I only wish EVERYONE teared up at the sound of the Anthem, what it stands for, the lives lost in the past wars fought for our country, and the pride we all share to live here in the United States...if any of my "candor" offended anyone, that was not my intention. I love my country, and will defend it...God Bless Our Troops!:)
I'll do you one better. I got tears in my eyes everytime I heard him speak in realtime. What shocked me was when some of the Dem-RATS got tears in their eyes during some of Bubba's speeches. I guess Clinton was THEIR Reagan.
