I remember cancelling everything I was doing in order to watch the 1980 Convention speech.
I was home sick with the flu the day he got shot and turned the TV about 15 min before it broke.
Not sure if many of you folks recall Frank Reynolds of ABC News. He was their anchor and was on TV. There many reports coming in saying Jim Brady was killed, then alive and he lost his temper..it was quite a human moment.
I remember the electric thrill I felt during and after the Carter debate - you just knew it was a game changer.
Challenger, Berlin, Boys of Point Du Hoc...a true giant.
Can't wait till they carve his face onto Rushmore.
If you haven't viewed the video on his assassination attempt, you are missing a CLASSIC REAGAN response to what was going on in his mind at the time. It is priceless!
I just wish kids today were taught more about Reagan. My children learned very little about him in school. In high school, the history teachers pretty much skipped over him for all 4 of my kids. Heavens, no!, we can't give the man credit for anything.
But the good thing is, I can't count the number of reports my children did about him over the years!

Sarah Palin has ALWAYS loved Reagan and his politics.
I miss President Reagan. I see a lot of him in Mitt Romney. Especially the warmth, toughness, and love for this country
Happy Birthday Mr. President!
Great job Bosman, lots of great memories.

Doug,
"Can't wait till they carve his face onto Rushmore."
I agree!
"Can't wait till they carve his face onto Rushmore."
I think any 2012er who comes out with that suggestion first, would probably get a big bump in the polls.
