My ex husband was in the Air Force and we were sent to Okinawa in 1972.
Reagan had a regular column published in The Stars and Stripes that I read religiously. I didn’t think of him as a politician because his writing wasn’t about politics. It was about being an American and about being conservative in life.
I think Reagan’s ability to work with all people was because he didn’t define them as republican/democrat or conservative/liberal. He allowed people to be who they are but somehow convinced them to do things his way.
I think Ronald would approve of Donald.
At this point, so do I.
Thanks for the mention.
Folks can’t listen to Trumps interviews and speeches and not come away with the unmistakable fact that he loves this nation and wants to help get it back on track.
Frankly, with his background, I think he’s the most qualified to do it.
well said
Thank you. I appreciate it.
