@@friendofcoal I turned 17 on January 6, 1989 and I signed for the split-option training program (basic training between my junior and senior year) and AIT after I graduate for the Army Reserves. I signed up because I wanted to serve my country and be one of the good guys. I wanted to do it under Reagan who I grew up with as a child and teenager. My parents wanted to wait until summer time, but I had made up my mind that I wanted to be a medic and I wanted to sign my papers before he was out of office. I went to basic training and came back a different person, a better version of myself for my senior year. After I graduated high school, I was in AIT at Fort Sam Houston. I eventually went from reserves to active duty in 1993 and got out in 1995. Active duty at Fort Hood was a complete waste of my time and talents. I blame the crappy leadership at 2AD. I was glad to see it disbanded in 1995. The difference between Reagan's army and Clinton's (and subsequent presidents) is incredibly different. We were prepared to win the Cold War with Reagan and to be honest, I felt I was past my expiration date with the Army when the Soviet Union fell in 1991. God bless Reagan. He was the best president we've had in modern times.
God bless all the heroes and families of this great nation. Thank you so much for your sacrifices and the honor to defend our liberty. God bless America forever and ever.
you can really understand a lot about someone, based on how they feel about Reagan... No president has ever been perfect, but he was pretty damn close! God bless this great man
i was just 23 years old did not know anything about politics back in 1981,then i was watching t v at of all places at a sears store here in Arkansas ,it was Ronald Reagan inauguration speech, and i was blown away, since than Ronald Reagan was and is still my favorite president ,I and America misses him dearly
When I was a young man, I grew-up under the protection of President Reagan !!! I lived a good and happy life but we also knew the threat our country faced. My parents and grandparents and I all knew President Reagan would protect us !!! Everyday, there was the threat of nuclear annihilation and this could be our last day. That day never came, thanks to our beloved President Reagan and his, 'Peace Through Strength' policy and his unwavering devotion to our country...
One of the greatest leaders in the U.S. history. A man with guts, wits and integrity for the course of the whole nation and the world. We need a true leader like this.
I had the honor of being an Army Ranger under Ronald Reagan. When leadership was real and the worlds insanity for a short time was kept at bay. If you want to see an election map that meant something... look at his election maps. RIP Mr. President.
I had the great honor of voting for Ronald Reagan my first time voting when I turned 18 years old. At 60 now I am heartbroken what they have done to our great nation
I miss this President. An Amazing charismatic Patriot. Proud to have served under him. This was the last of the Republicans I remember. I don't recognize the types of Republicans today.
Same here! He was my first president. In my mind he is STILL the epitome of what a US President SHOULD be! They should all strive to be more like him! And we should ALL strive to live up to those ideals that he cherished.
One of my greatest days. I shook hands with President Reagan, when he was a CA Governor. May God Bless him. "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall". I'll always remember that. And he did.
As PRESIDENT REAGAN spoke those touching words, myself and a high school best friend were about to venture off into the world to make our mark on Life! I chose to follow my dads footprints and keep the family business going no matter what. Steve Townsend on the other hand went off to N. GA College and then off to the 82nd Airborne. 40 years later I am still pursuing the family dream. Steve, on the other hand; will be retiring this summer after serving 40 years of Active duty in the Army ; having served in a combat role at every rank he achieved from 2nd Lt to 4 Star General! My efforts pale in comparison to those remarkable accomplishments of General Steve Townsend . I merely showed up for work each day; the General, on the other hand, gave his entire adult life to preserve the very Freedom we enjoy each and every day. Someone once said; No Greater Gift than to Lay down your Life for that of another! General Townsend; by God's Grace , you are still here with us; but rest assured, in my view; you have given your ENTIRE Life for us all. May God always Bless You and Protect You! We must never pass the opportunities to reflect on those who gave ALL, nor share our Gratitude with the ones who did make it Home!
He was not perfect, but he knew how to speak in words that inspired, he knew how to lead, and he knew how to be a President, better than any of the six who have held the office since his terms.
I’ve already heard it! There is a lost generation running around completely indoctrinated. They have no idea who he was, what he stood for and how many Americans loved him.
I served in the army in the 11th cavalry, Regiment on the East German border, during the years of Reagan. I remember how the Democrats of the time hated him. It was very sad that they had no foresight. I was honoured to serve under him on the frontiers of freedom.
Grandfather I never met you but if it wasnt for you I wouldnt be the free man I am now thank you for being a Chief in the navy in ww2. And I just couldn't help myself but to join the Marines.
Hits hard today for all those that have gave their lives to give another country freedom... now to be given up on, and the enemy armed with everything you decided to leave.
Our country has been handed over to lesser men. Thank you Mr. President for your service to this great nation. It was an honor and privilege to serve under your command sir.
It saddens me deeply to see the politicians destroying this country. The greed, the incompetence, and the decadence. My grandfather served in WW II as a marine in the 4th division and saw serious combat and three purple hearts. My father ,myself, and all my brothers have served. I do not have faith in the coming generation because they have not been trained properly. They are generally weak and lazy. They have “Triggers” and need “time outs”. My family’s blood have been spilled and many of my brothers and sisters in arms as well. These veterans bear the wounds, and emotional trauma for the rest of their live. And the country ignores them. I weep for a once great nation. God Bless the USA, and have mercy on those whom stood the watch.
Make all kids in school, politicians in government and all 20 something year old's listen to his speeches and maybe the will realize how great we have it in this country and stop destroying it
God bless this beautiful country. Even though she might be rough around the edges but I wouldnt have it any other way. The aftermath of 911 is the true definition of what it means to be an American. Everyone came to help, they didnt see any race or religion. It was just Americans helping Americans. The way it should be. Hopefully our great nation will come together again and defend our values and way of life when the time comes.
It's really humbling to listen to this decades later, and understand the level of propaganda both then & now. Reagan was right, freedom has a cost -- and the People lost it to the entire Government a long time ago.

America needs a President who is "a patriot, brave & smart action " like President Reagan, now more than ever. God bless Americans.
Speaking as a Brit it seems to me he was a President that knew and understood his country.
Margaret Thatcher sure wasn't a bad leader either.
He was an HONORABLE man who was easy to respect. He was committed to America. He is missed.
Sadly he had the American flaw, he was a racist! But hey, that's the American thing isn't it.
