End of an 80′s Era

Posted by Grey on June 5th, 2004 filed in Chapters

Im saddened today, yet another icon from my youth, another “Era” representing my childhood has ended. Ronald Reagan died today. Ronald Reagan was a great president. Many things flourished under his tenure. Defense went up, taxes went down.. Black ops went up. Like any president; past, present, future; he had his good and bad points, But he did what he felt he needed, he came to inflict change upon the government and the people, and he did just that.

I remember growing up under the Reagan years. My parents, both military, worked hard as some budgets were cut and programs were changed. My Dad flew around alot, working on many things at different times. We benefited of course, my dad was able to keep his job and we were able to put things way for a rainy day. Things were much simpler then. We knew who our enemy was, we knew who to aim our guns and missles at. We had Rivals, who fought for expansion and protection. They were the ‘Commies’ and were were the ‘Capatalists..’ Simple..

I miss those days..

Rest in Peace President Reagan.
