Remembering Ronald Reagan…

President Ronald Reagan was born on February 6, 1911; and died on June 5, 2004. His talent as great communicator, brave will, undisputed leadership and heroic legacy has validity. Certainly, the good causes are more than any difference; and the support to Section 936 and the Caribbean Basin Initiative is an effective model very necessary to promote a real growth (The governor of Puerto Rico at that time, Rafael Hernandez Colon, and other prominent leaders, shone in that democratizing feat; whose message is valid and is needed again). The good ideas are part of the best pages to be written, and the history continues…

·         “I'd also like to thank Puerto Rico's Governor, Rafael Hernández Colón, with us today, for the support that you've given to help us promote democracy and economic progress in the entire Caribbean region”. --Ronald Reagan

·         “This Administration's objective will be a healthy, vigorous growing economy”. --Ronald Reagan

                                              

·         “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 their journey and waved good-bye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God”. --Ronald Reagan

·         “Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means”. --Ronald Reagan

·         "The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism; it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written". --Ronald Reagan

·         “We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone”. --Ronald Reagan

·         “A truly successful army is one that, because of its strength and ability and dedication, will not be called upon to fight, for no one will dare to provoke it”. --Ronald Reagan

·         “Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used”. --Ronald Reagan

·         “Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look”. --Ronald Reagan

·         “An informed patriotism is what we want”. --Ronald Reagan
