America mourned the
loss of the greatest president of the 20th century yesterday, Friday,
June 11, 2003 as Americans on both coasts tearfully said goodbye to Ronald
Wilson Reagan, the 40th President of the United States. Reagan's burial
odyssey began with a week of mourning as he lay in state at the Reagan
Library in Simi Valley on Tuesday. Over 100,000 Californians came to pay
their respects to a beloved leader. On Wednesday, Reagan's flag-draped
coffin was flown to Washington, DC where he lay in state in the Capitol
Rotunda for 30 hours. Another 100,000 Americans came to say goodbye. The
outpouring of affection from the American people was expressed by multiple
thousands of working class Joe and Jane Doaks who lined the procession
paths of the limousine caravans escorting the body of Ronald Reagan on
both coasts as simple Americans expressed their love for the common man
who became America's greatest presidenta cherished leader who, while
standing heads above the throng, always saw himself as just one of the
common folks. In that respect, Ronald Wilson Reagan was a common man with
a simple wish. He wished that everyone would treat their fellow man with
dignity and respect, and that all men would be able to exercise liberty
in a free society. And, for multiple millions of free men and women around
the world, he made that impossible dream come true.
A great man crossed
our land yesterday. His footsteps are now silent. His smile is slowly
fading from our minds. And his voice is a mere echo in our ears. But the
mark he left upon this land will endure for centuries. May God eternally
bless Ronald Wilson Reagan. |
