With the passing Of President Reagan, America has lost one its true patriots. It may be the last time in our history that we had a President who was able to unite America, bypass the media, and speak to the hearts and visions of the majority of Americans.

Even those who disagreed with his politics, agreed with the man who believed with his heart that Americans hold the solutions to the problems before us — not any government or political party. One only has to look at the divisive rhetoric, fueled by different opinions one reads, listens or watches on the TV that shows the divide in America today. Either side that wins leaves one side without a voice or respect. President Reagan’s ideals and visions are kept alive by us who believe Americans — and our heritage — are the strength of our nation.
