While Americans will have opposing views on President Reagan, I am proud to say I miss Uncle Ronnie…but not as much as Nancy.
For some reason on this day I am thinking of a Presidential second inaugural, that of Ronald Reagan! He summed up the theme of his Presidency well with this observation in his speech that day:

I agree on your observation that we will never see his likes again… He was an American.
I miss him too, he was always one of my favorites. Did you happen to notice the US Navy ad on tv? The number 76 aircraft carrier is the USS Ronald Reagan.
No way I could miss that! And if you ever are blessed to visit his library here, bring lits of Kleenex…
