Yes, it's true. America had suffered greatly under Jimmy Carter, a
good-hearted but weak leader who let the rest of the world beat his country
into submission and disgrace. Much of our problems today linger from the
middle east's discovery that America can be beaten like a scared dog under
that term. Ronald Reagan rescued our country from that administration which
had the audacity to announce on national television that Americans had life
too good and the time had come for them to accept less. He restored most of
the world's respect for the country they expected to contribute the most
financially and in the lives of her citizens to save them from those whose
objectives included their total domination. He told Americans we deserve
more because we contribute more. He restored America.

As with any person's passing, great or small, there are those who have no
respect. They tend to freeload rather than contribute. They the ones who
care not for the whole, but only for themselves. Even among us, there are
those who are best ignored.

Rest well Mr. Reagan. The producers and accomplishers of the country you
leave behind appreciate your work.
