President Ronald Reagan

This post is for President Ronald Reagan.

I served under President Reagan for my first seven years in service, 1981-1988.

During that time, I saw the Army transform from a Vietnam hold-over to a force to be reconned with.

Our uniforms changed, our equipment and spare parts imoproved, we received more funds for training, and our morale improved steadily throughout his presidency.

If it were not for his support of the military, and the rebuilding of forces that he did, I probably would not have stayed in the Army.

It was my utmost honor and privelage to serve under his command.
In my opinion, he was the best.

God rest his soul.

I salute you Mr. President.
