"The President's condition is -- he's very sick. He's 91 years old. His Alzheimer's is advanced. As you recall, he broke his hip. Following his broken hip, he had surgery, and they got him up and walking around again. They were actually -- with some therapy. But now he's pretty much bedridden most of the time. So..."

Every time I think about him passing on to the next life, I feel like crying. He will be sorely missed.

Most remarkable moment truly was, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." His advisers didn't want him to write that. They leaned on him. They tried to get him to take it out of the speech. He said, "Forget it. I'm president. I'm saying it."

Don't cry. As one who had a Alzheimers victim in my family, I prefer to believe that as their minds receed from this life they gradually are more and more present with the Lord. Ronnie is already having a great coversation with Jesus!

This may make sense........I was too young to vote for him, but am old enough now to give my thanks.

Reagan is a great one.

Godspeed Gipper, you will be missed. I can only hope that he stays alive long enough to see conservatives turn the tables on the dems and start moving us back to the right.

"He stood tall in the saddle and stared down the Evil Empire."

Can't remember who wrote that about him but it always stuck with me.

My favorite sign at the March For Justice was the one with the picture of the Gipper and was captioned something like "Now this was a President".

Thought you'd like to see this:
Speaker Dennis Hastert Honors Ronald and Nancy Reagan

There's also a nice picture of the Speaker and Mrs. Reagan on the first page of the site: Here

Washington D.C. - Speaker Dennis Hastert made the following remarks during the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony today:

"I am very honored to participate in this ceremony to give the Congressional Gold Medal to Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

"Ronald Reagan is a hero of mine. His life represents the best of the heartland of Illinois. As President, he put his trust in the spirit of the American people. He knew that freedom and opportunity would conquer oppression and evil. Our national agenda still reflects the vision of Ronald Reagan. Whether it be making our military stronger to promote peace and stability, making our streets safer to promote domestic tranquility, or making our taxes lower to promote economic prosperity, it was Ronald Reagan who best articulated these policies. Ronald Reagan's leadership helped Americans believe in America again."

Do you remember the first Reagan-Gorbachev summit?

President Reagan came out the door dressed in a black winter coat and a white neck wrap, and walked down about 5 steps to greet him.

Gorbachev looked like he was completely awed by the President.

That IS a good one! God bless Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

For their service and sacrifice for their county, we can never express enough thanks.
