RONALD REAGAN LIBRARY

 After a great weekend visiting cousins and getting to know them better, we decided to visit the  Ronald Reagan presidential library.  President Reagan is one of  our most admired  and successful presidents and we had been looking forward to this visit. Visitors are somewhat restricted in areas of picture taking.
This motto was on his desk continuously during his time in office.  We need some political leaders today with the same attitude and drive.
 This Air force One was in service during his presidency, we were not allowed to take any pics or touch anything inside.
 This is a real piece of the Berlin wall that divided the city of Berlin Germany. We wonder how many people died trying to escape from behind it.  The president's famous speech with the words "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall"  in  his own handwriting is on display.
This beam from the World Trade Centre   becomes   a sacred place for us as we contemplate that day.                                                              
The President's final resting place for his mortal body.  This site faces out over the  Simi Valley and you can see for miles across the countryside.
