David Shoup br> Dublin, Georgia /p> p> Thank you, Mr. Tabin, for the eloquent piece on the effect President Reagan's legacy even on those born too recently to remember him in office. I was born in Bucharest, Romania, in 1980. My family left Romania and came to the States to escape that murderous tyrant, Ceausescu. My friends never really understand why I profess such a strong admiration and love for Reagan, since I was only eight when he left office. However, this article clearly explained why the legacy of Reagan will live on forever; because of his determination to transcend communism by extolling and promoting freedom everywhere he changed the face of my home country. I cherish the freedom my family has here and, because of President Reagan, I have hope that the people of Romania will fully realize those same freedoms. God bless Ronald Reagan. br> -- Alex Tomescu /p>

Once again the TV newspeople have overlooked the opportunity to end the TV obituary with a film clip of one of Ronald Reagan's goodbye scenes.

p>Surely in all of his movies and press conferences there must be one scene where he wishes us well, waves goodbye and then exits. Why haven't we seen it? br> -- David Hamilton br> Aumsville, Oregon /p> p> More of what the media won't show us was relayed to me by my daughter who is in the Air Force Academy band. When the president was there delivering the commencement address and was announced 29,000 people arose as one and wildly cheered him. But the best part was that after his speech he stayed for almost two hours and shook the hand of EVERY SINGLE graduating cadet!!! Some did not want to shake his hand !!!! they wanted a HUG! and he hugged them!! Now isn't that a nice patriotic heart warming little story that uplifts your spirits and makes you smile. But all the major media had to say about that day was that president gave the commencement address at the Air Force Academy.... Maybe you guys can get it out to the public... it just goes to show the affection and admiration that 99.99% of the military has for this man. Of course the major media doesn't want to show America anything like that... br> --
