May the lord Jehovah bless him and his family.

The most wonderful thing that Ronald Reagan gave to me, was pride in wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army. Having served under Carter, I felt that I had wasted my time joining the Army, RR gave me a reason to reup and meaning to wearing the uniform.

Thank You Sir.

I Hear you... only for me the opposite happened. I remember joining the Navy during Reagan's second term. Everyone in uniform seemed to hold their heads a little higher back then. We were building the 600 ship Navy and standing up to the Soviets. Fast forward to the impeached rapist's failed presidency. The focus was on dropping to a 250 ship navy, and figuring out how best to make those ships co-ed. What a travesty. Those of us who had the privledge to serve under , perhaps the greatest commander and chief in the 20th century will never forget it.
