Saturday would have been Ronald Reagan’s 99th birthday. His influence and the legacy have moved so many of us, including myself, to get in involved in politics.
This weekend we are opening up the Huck PAC blog to our Team Huck Volunteers and asking them to post their thoughts/memories of President Reagan. We are also adding a blog titled “I Miss President Reagan” to our website for Huck PAC supporters and Reagan fans from across the nation to leave a message/memory of President Reagan. Throughout the day we will also post some video, excerpts of speeches and news stories about President Reagan that we have collected for tomorrow.
Our plan is to share the responses with the Reagan Library and Mrs. Reagan. Use the link below leave your messge.
I hope you will participate in this worthy project.
I would like to send a heart felt thank you to all vets present and past. I would like to share with you reading this that with the way vets are being treated whether it’s avoidance, neglect or just plain disrespect a story that I watched and it has brought me to a complete understanding that these men and women have put there lives for the betterment of this country and all they got in return was grief. Please, watch this video and get yourself involved to help the many in need.
Irresponsibility comes around but for many it creeps up on them and it catches them off guard. Watching the story linked below brought a rush of anger at first but by the end of the video I found myself sad for the family especially the mom. It’s mentioned that she might not of known that the kid was in the back seat hiding. At first I thought that there is no way for that to happen because the family would of been calling her to find out where the kid was but if the family knew the kid was going to be with the mom by either assuming or maybe the kid mentioned that he was going with her I saw that something like this could happen to anybody. My heart goes out to the family and to the mom even more.
Today is a sad day for all comic lovers out there, with the passing of George Carlin you know that the game is losing a whole lot of character and style. I have many cds of George performing in many venues, especially when he performed “Your Sick” in Chicago. I grew up listening to George pretty much every chance I got well actually I was about fifteen when I first heard him so I wasn’t really growing up listening to him. It wasn’t until about four years ago that I found out that he was in a show as a train conductor. I will miss you George and I will miss your talent and personality as well.
I came across this article today and it reminded me that even though someone is dead they are not forgotten - I’m not talking about family members remembering, I’m talking about complete strangers that are taking the extra step to identify and locate the unnamed and the missing.
The unnamed dead are everywhere — buried in unmarked graves, tagged in county morgues, dumped in rivers and under bridges, interred in potter’s fields and all manner of makeshift tombs. There are more than 40,000 unnamed bodies in the U.S., according to national law enforcement reports, and about 100,000 people formally listed as missing.
My wife and I have taken two years from our lives pursuing the same goal. It started out with the search of my wife’s family and it ended up being a large collection of names that did not have a home or place. She has published a great book titled “In Memory of…The loved and the forgotten of Ohio“. In this book you’ll read and see the many cemeteries we’ve seen and visited. You will also get an inside look of what my wife has found while researching soldiers that fount in the war here in Ohio many many years ago. I am glad to know that there is a network out there that is relentless in finding out what others chose to ignore.
