The Real Heroes!

Ten years ago today, on June 5, 2004, America lost a true hero in our 40th President, Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan embodied all the characteristics we should seek in a president.  Reagan was a freedom loving man, who placed God and country first, embracing American exceptionalism and rugged individualism seeking to leave all he influenced with the flame of freedom, with aspiration and hope for a better future.

Unlike our current Commander in Chief, who has disdain for our military, Reagan had a special bond with our men and women in uniform, formed from genuine heartfelt appreciation and respect.

"In times of peace and in times of war America's military power has lead our nation to many great victories."-Ronald Reagan

While there are many instances of Reagan utilizing his wonderful communication skills in praise of the tremendous sacrifice of our military members and their families, few can compare to the speech given by President Reagan at Normandy commemorating the 40th anniversary of D-Day, or The Invasion of Normandy.

The bravery and sacrifice of those who hit Normandy rivals few, and on this day in 1984, President Reagan eloquently said what so very many of us feel and were unable to express.

Please take a listen:



Friday, June 6, 2014, will mark the 70th anniversary of this historic day.

On this day, our hearts and prayers will be with all the brave men lost on that day and those who stormed those beaches in 1944. A face full of tears will flow as we reflect on this day and express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all those who fought to preserve the freedoms we hold dear.

The Real Heroes. Gentlemen; God Bless You All!
