A Great Man Died Today - Ronald Reagan

I am saddened to hear that Ronald Reagan died today. In my opinion he was the greatest President of my lifetime. He stared Communism in the face, and defeated it.

While I am in a hurry to complete my preparations for leaving to a Techno-Security conference, I just wanted to remind everyone about something he did in the first hours of his Presidency.

When he took office, the Soviet Union had their own parking space in the basement of the State Department. On his first day in office, Reagan gave the order to remove the parking space, they can park on the street like the rest of the world. I knew after this story broke that great things would be happening from this President.

My heartfelt condolences to his family, Ronald Reagan will not be forgotten by this American!
