"Ronald Reagan

At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to reinvigorate the American people and reduce their reliance upon Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore "the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism."

On February 6, 1911, Ronald Wilson Reagan was born to Nelle and John Reagan in Tampico, Illinois. He attended high school in nearby Dixon and then worked his way through Eureka College. There, he studied economics and sociology, played on the football team, and acted in school plays. Upon graduation, he became a radio sports announcer. A screen test in 1937 won him a contract in Hollywood. During the next two decades he appeared in 53 films." Biography of Ronald Reagan

Our oldest son was in Washington D C back in 2004 on a band trip at the time of Mr. Reagan's funeral. I know everyone has a time and purpose in life. I think through hard work my son will accomplish a lot in his life. Him seeing Ronald Wilson Reagan's funeral procession down the streets of D C will go far in his life. I was very proud my son had the chance of being so close to a great man at Mr. Reagan's last trip in Washington DC.

Long live the conservative movement.

We will never forget Ronald Wilson Reagan
