The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library - Greatness!

Awe inspiring!  Our visit to The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley was unforgettable.  I thought we would be there a couple of hours and then be on our way.  Six hours later we were the last ones to leave, as the presidential guards locked the gate behind us.

We read and listened to Reagan’s inspired words.  He was fearless and said what we all wanted said.  He put into words what we all felt.  He was the “great communicator”.  He restored our self-respect, and our reputation in the world.  He loved all people and defended individual worth.

We toured the Oval Office and Air force 1.  We stood by a piece of the Berlin Wall.  We took pictures of the presidential seal and pondered by President Reagan’s grave, overlooking beautiful Simi Valley.  A hundred chairs were set up for his 101^st birthday celebration the next day. 

Ronald Reagan is not only one of my heroes.  He was a man prepared and lead by God to protect and preserve this land for the sake of all people on the earth.  His efforts to reign in government spending, establish a balanced budget, and create a national defense, restored America’s ability to protect itself from both enemies without and enemies within.  His efforts brought down intangible as well as tangible walls of hostility.  Some of our enemies became our friends, and our nation’s citizens once again had their God-given rights, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, declared and protected.  We need another Ronald Reagan in the White House.
