Happy 100th Birthday Mr. President.

You are missed, but not forgotten.

Here's two memorable, historic, and timeless excerpts of Ronald Reagan. A President whose shoes have certainly not been filled since.

Get to minute 1:00. and 1:25 He had it nailed.

And of course, The woman behind the man, made all the difference until the day he left us.

Happy Birthday Ronald Wilson Reagan. 

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.
Ronald Reagan

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Ronald Reagan

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Ronald Reagan

There's a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, 'He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.' Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete.

The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'

Thank you.

President Ronald Reagan - January 28, 1986

He was IMO our last good President.

I would have to agree with that statement.
