It has been said that when it is dark enough, one can see stars. In these dark days for our nation, President Reagan's greatness, optimism, joy and vision shine more brightly than ever. Perhaps seeing in President Reagan, unconsciously, an image of herself, no one has paid more eloquent tribute to the late President than did Margaret Thatcher on his 83rd birthday (see below). On this, the 103rd anniversary of President Reagan's birth, let us recall when these two great leaders reversed the decline of their nations, freed half a continent and inspired freedom loving people throughout the world.
The words of Longfellow eloquently describe the legacies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and their great partnership for good:
"So when a great man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
Upon the paths of men."
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
Upon the paths of men."
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon
them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
