President Reagan - History Remembers

Ronald W. Reagan February 6, 1911 - June 5, 2004

Yesterday marked one year since he passed away. We still wanted to take a moment to remember the person whom most consider the greatest president in our lifetimes...Ronald Reagan.

For any revisionists or anyone who doesn't remember, consider this quote from a 1994 speech by President Reagan:

Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success, and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history. Listening to the liberals, you'd think that the 1980's were the worst period since the Great Depression, filled with suffering and despair. I don't know about you, but I'm getting awfully tired of the whining voices from the White House these days. They're claiming there was a decade of greed and neglect, but you and I know better than that. We were there.

Yes...we were there, and that period gave Americans new pride, new hope, prosperity, and strengthened freedoms. Thank you, President Reagan.
