Ha!  I turned 18 just in time to vote for his second term!  Best vote I ever made and probably will ever make!

I am in the same situation. I was 12 when he took office and a Junior in College when he departed. I consider myself a child of the Reagan era. One of the neatest experiences I have ever had was visiting the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. Absolutely amazong place complete with replica Oval Office as of the day he left as well as a piece of the Berlin Wall with the Valley as the backdrop. Stunning really. One of the neat things about the Oval Office replica is that it tells the story of the last words ever spoken to him in that room. They were by then National Security Advisor Colin Powell. He said, "Mr. President, the world is safe today." Thanks to him, that was the case.

God bless you Mr. President.

Me too. I remember he was elected to his first term on my birthday. I think I was just turning 10. I remember thinking, what a fantastic birthday present. =)

I was in the same boat; although, my first presidential vote was cast in the election that brought Clinton into office. I was quite discouraged. President Reagan established in my youthful mind what a true leader should be. It is very possible that I shall compare all future candidates for the Office to him. I pray that these comparisions will show more similarity than difference.

May God grant peace and rest to President and Mrs. Reagan.
