Reagan

1) Because I was in the military through all his presidency but his first year in office and he did a lot to boost us up.

2) He gave the country a real economic "shot-in-the-arm" that was felt through the Clinton years.

3) He squarely looked the Soviets in the eye and didn't back down at all.

4) His Star Wars bluff had the Soviets fooled and was something they couldn't economically compete with, which helped bring them down.

5) I met him in 1984. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
