Memories of Ronald Reagan

Ronnie Rayguns was my hero.

I'll never forget the Saturday morning radio address where he didn't realize he was back on the air and said something to the effect of "I've just signed legislation outlawing the Soviet Union. Bombing will commence in 5 minutes".

We miss you Gipper!

When he was shot and was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery, he raised his head and looked at the main surgeon, then around the room. He (weakly) asked the surgeon "Are you a republican?"

The surgeon smilled and said "If I wasn't - I am one today Mr. President".

Never forget to be thankful for all those who give of themselves - regardless of political stripe - to serve, help and protect our nation and those in it.
