Oh this one makes me cryyyyy. Here's why... We went to the Reagan Library. I swore I would make his the first if not the only one I would go to. As you know, before stepping in those very revered doors, is part of the, "Mr Gorbachev, tear down that wall". The inscription made me cryyyyy. I'm a gal who likes to touch history so I touched everything I could. We bought a big poster of Ronnie on his horse and I snapped some pics that proudly hang in my hall. Soooo honored to step in his library. A big thank you for this video. Brings a lot of it right back. GREAT video. Thanks !!!
Reagan was a great man, thank you for this look at his legacy and final resting place. I haven't visited there myself yet, but will plan to do so to pay my respect. You do a marvelous rendition of Mr. Reagan, Jeff!
I really loved President Reagan. He was the best President in my mind. I still see him standing on the steps. President Carter announced that the hostages in Beirut would be coming home. Our fellow U.S. citizens came home when President Reagan took office.
I especially loved this episode as I've always loved President Ronald Reagan, a true American Patriot!! Thank you so much for doing this one, I'll most likely never get to see his library and all!
Wonderful show of the greatest president! Love watching your program and the cool history reviled right in our back yard. We plan on going to see Black Bart’s resting place in Marysville cemetery to see Mister Wells. Thank you for letting us know! 👍
I had no idea a Presidential library could be the kind of place I'd want to check out. Now I'm kicking myself for never seeing it, definitely a stop going on my post-Covid bucket-list. Thanks for the excellent coverage Jeff!!
Jeff, my boyfriend in high school, future husband, worked on the flight line at our local airport in our junior year. This was 1975-76. He fueled up planes and jets in the hangers. The President came for a visit. My boyfriend had to fuel Air Force One. He had to be checked out by the Secret Service. A SS guy watched him fuel the plane. It must’ve been Ford who visited.
By far, Jeff, this is one of your best video presentations that you've made, that I've had the honor and pleasure of viewing. Thank you for making another masterpiece! Keep up the good work!
Just watched this episode. So many memories came flooding back. Gordon took me here for my birthday the last year we lived in California. Reagan had been buried in June and we were there in October. Thanks Jeff for such a great walk down memory lane♥️
@@jbenziggy it was awesome! Air Force one and the building were still under construction. I wish we’d gone back after it was completed. We did go to Dixon, Illinois to his home, which is a museum now. We also went to Eureka College because we didn’t live too far from there at the time. They have a nice museum and memorial to Reagan there as well as a section of the Berlin Wall. Thanks for all you do Jeff! Hi to Sarah!
I grew up in Prophetstown IL. Which is only a few miles from Tampico. I also graduated from Sauk Valley Community College, in Dixon IL. So knowing about Ronald Reagan is like breathing. I saw him in the parade when he came home to Dixon during his Presidency. I took my very young kids then. I live in Tennessee now and haven't been home in 14 years. Wow that sounds so long!!! My brother still has a house in Prophetstown and my 3 brothers visit frequently. Sure made me want to go back for a visit! ~ Jill Gross
I felt so privileged to shake Mr. Reagan's hand in May 1994 but I could tell something seemed off about him. He seemed a little confused and I remarked that to my mother who was with me. That December he announced he had Alzheimer's Disease and I felt my suspicions were confirmed. He was a great man and a great president and lived an extraordinary life! Thanks for watching and sharing about your connections to him, Jill! Much appreciated!
Great visit to the library. It would possibly bring in more visitors if folks really understood that this is the same AF#1 was used by so many others. It’s a really nice and informative library.
I will never be able to see all of this in person, THANKS for offering second best. I greatly appreciate all of your videos and the hard work it takes to produce them.
Hello Jeff, I couldn't wait to watch this video and talk to you about President Reagan, can't believe it's almost 20 years since he left this world. Reagan has always been my childhood hero, growing up in the 80s, I see him almost everyday on the news, he was one President I regret never having a chance to write to, in 1988 what would he think of a 10 year old who wants to learn about President History? When he passaway I did cry, next to Lincoln, Reagan was my favorite President. In 2005 I've got to visit the Reagan Library, sadly I didn't see Air Force One and his gravesite, his gravesite at the time was cover under the tent, probably to make it look nice, I hope to go back again someday, since then I've got to visit other President Library, Nixon, Hoover & Lincoln. 🙂 Speaking of Air Force One, the new Reagan movie is coming out on August 30th, can't wait to see it, in the movie they film all the air force one scenes at the Reagan's Library on Air Force one, and all the Ranch scenes at the Ranch where Reagan lives. I remember mentioning this movie to you, in my opinion I think this movie will be a good film on Reagan and not negative, The movie trailer is now on UA-cam. Thankyou so much for making this video. 🙂
40TH PRESIDENT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT's . I MET HIM IN 1986 WHEN HE MADE A TRIP TO COLUMBUS GA AND CAME TO SPEAK AT MY HIGH SCHOOL Kendrick high with his secert serves all around dressed his brown suit .a day in my life time i will forever remember and the man i will forever honor and have so much RESPECT for .
Reagan is one of my Favorites but I still have a few dislikes on Laws he signed into existence. His library is definitely on my bucket list!! Next time you are down that way maybe you can do a story on the Santa Suzanna Accident.. my Brother was living in Van Nuys at the time Working for LA Airways... I guess it didn’t effect him he is still alive and more active then I am today and he’s 79! Great Job Jeff 👍👍
Oh wow…I paused and read the letter President Reagan wrote to you post presidency. That is so wonderful! Thanks for sharing it…yes, love his referring to Lincoln saying that he couldn’t do anything without Gods to help. I’ve been to the Reagan library twice, and I enjoyed it so much. I would love to go back again. Man oh man that letter you got from him could be there! Awesome! Btw, what did he mean in the letter when he congratulated you for an election? That’s so cool that you wrote to him about seeking God and he responded to that!
My favorite president. My father-in-law belonged to the Cowboy Club. An organization that did a wagon train from CA to Vegas. Regan and my father-in-law were riding partners. This took place while Regan was still acting up until he became Governor of CA.
Yes there are multiples. When I saw Jimmy Carter fly into Modesto there were actually two in hand. When I saw Obama fly over in his way to Yosemite we saw three I believe.
Would’ve been fun if they made special presidential jellybeans with the seal of the president. And he would only take from the presidential jellybeans when he’s fired up about something 👀
Jeff ,Reagan did nothing for the poor people , his economics policy was trickle down from the rich to the under class Americans in 1982 the interest rate was 13 % and the unemployment lines were 2 blocks long . that is my opinion .✌🧐
Question. What year did Ronald Reagan start eating the famous Jelly Belly and did start when he Governor of California? I had a cousin that worked along Reagan when he was Governor.
Fun Fact: During the Inauguration for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, Vice President Pence used Reagans Bible, while Trump used his childhood Bible, and the one used by President Abraham Lincoln . The Lincoln Bible was also used by Former President Obama in his two inaugurations as well as Martin Luther Kings for his second inauguration
Thanks for those facts! I didn’t know that! I am a presidential enthusiast! Thanks for watching and if you’re not already a subscriber we would love to have you subscribe!
@@jbenziggy You're welcome. I am also am a bit of an enthusiast myself, even been to four Presidential libraries so far(Carter, Reagan, Nixon and Clinton) and would eventually like to visit all 13. I am defiantly going to be subscribing soon.
@@jbenziggy I would also recommend if you can, to visit the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio if you can. It has the largest collection of Presidential aircraft. Including FDR's sacred cow, Trumans Independence and the Air Force One that carried Kennedy's body back to Washington.
@@jbenziggy Never been to memphis. But while your there, if you are willing to travel to Nashville( been a long time since I have been there so I'm not sure the distance) President Andrew Jackson's home is now a museum over there. Sadly i have not been myself, it may be a place you may be interested in checking out.
President Reagan was the first of 3 Commander and Chiefs I served under, but he was by far my favorite. Thank you for taking me to see him.
One of my favorites! He was President for Our Country and our nations people, not for himself or for personal gain. We need him now more then ever.
He was one my favorites too! Thanks for viewing and commenting!
Yes Sir he once said only way America 🇺🇸 will go down is from with in so True
@@rustyruss2962He also said, Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. That also is so true today.
Oh this one makes me cryyyyy.
Here's why...
We went to the Reagan Library. I swore I would make his the first if not the only one I would go to.
As you know, before stepping in those very revered doors, is part of the, "Mr Gorbachev, tear down that wall".
The inscription made me cryyyyy.

Soooo honored to step in his library.
A big thank you for this video. Brings a lot of it right back.
GREAT video.
Thanks !!!
Very nice, he was my favorite president
Great video. He was the first presidential election I got to vote for in 1984/1985. He was a great man.
Reagan was a great man, thank you for this look at his legacy and final resting place. I haven't visited there myself yet, but will plan to do so to pay my respect. You do a marvelous rendition of Mr. Reagan, Jeff!

We need Reagan back
Wonderful show of the greatest president! Love watching your program and the cool history reviled right in our back yard. We plan on going to see Black Bart’s resting place in Marysville cemetery to see Mister Wells. Thank you for letting us know! 👍
I've been here twice. Absolutely loved it. The piece of the Berlin Wall was moving. I was there before he and Nancy passed.
Love Ronald Reagan, this video, and your perspective, thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I had no idea a Presidential library could be the kind of place I'd want to check out. Now I'm kicking myself for never seeing it, definitely a stop going on my post-Covid bucket-list. Thanks for the excellent coverage Jeff!!
Thanks HH I would Really Love visit Library of President Ronald Reagan GodBless The United States 🇺🇸 Of America 🇺🇸❤️🙏

Excellent video, beautifully filmed. Cedric, England.
Mary Truckle thank you! This video hasn’t got much attention so double thanks!
Jeff this one tugged at my ❤️ Thank You Thank You 🇺🇸🇺🇸
My favorite President, of my lifetime. I had the honor of meeting him once in Long Beach California. Amazing man
Awesome! What was the occasion?
@jbenziggy I was helping with Dana Rohrabacher's campaign. And Reagan was a supporting him.
what a perfect song to end this awesome video ,,,it will make real men cry,,,thank u
By far, Jeff, this is one of your best video presentations that you've made, that I've had the honor and pleasure of viewing. Thank you for making another masterpiece! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! This was an earlier video do I see it full of mistakes and rough but I’m glad you liked it!
Just watched this episode. So many memories came flooding back. Gordon took me here for my birthday the last year we lived in California. Reagan had been buried in June and we were there in October. Thanks Jeff for such a great walk down memory lane♥️
This episode is almost embarrassing since it was at the beginning of my UA-cam creativity and I've learned so much since then. LOL

Thank you, Greg! I just started making videos last year and enjoy it. I appreciate you enjoying watching them! More is coming!
@@jbenziggy looking forward to your new videos. My brother mentioned your channel to me. You met him in Aurora Nv the other day.
greg kester your brother saved us a lot of grief directing us out the right way. He couldn’t believe we entered the way we did. It was pure hell! Lol!
Great visit to the library. It would possibly bring in more visitors if folks really understood that this is the same AF#1 was used by so many others.
It’s a really nice and informative library.

History Hunters cool! Hey if you still have the card I gave you give me an email sometime..
409rommel I still have it. I was telling my son about you and pulled out your card out of my wallet.
History Hunters 👍👍
Reagan is one of my Favorites but I still have a few dislikes on Laws he signed into existence. His library is definitely on my bucket list!! Next time you are down that way maybe you can do a story on the Santa Suzanna Accident.. my Brother was living in Van Nuys at the time Working for LA Airways... I guess it didn’t effect him he is still alive and more active then I am today and he’s 79! Great Job Jeff 👍👍

👍🏼it’s only a few minutes from my house. Have been there a few times. 👍🏼
I thought I'd been on the presidential helicopter at the National Naval Aviation Museum, in Pensacola, FL, but I guess there are multiples?
Yes there are multiples. When I saw Jimmy Carter fly into Modesto there were actually two in hand. When I saw Obama fly over in his way to Yosemite we saw three I believe.
Would’ve been fun if they made special presidential jellybeans with the seal of the president.
And he would only take from the presidential jellybeans when he’s fired up about something 👀
Can I choose what speech I wanna hold at the interactive point or is there just one specific?
When I was born in Oakland in 1969 Reagan was of course the Governor of California
Jeff ,Reagan did nothing for the poor people , his economics policy was trickle down from the rich to the under class Americans in 1982 the interest rate was 13 % and the unemployment lines were 2 blocks long . that is my opinion .✌🧐
Question. What year did Ronald Reagan start eating the famous Jelly Belly and did start when he Governor of California? I had a cousin that worked along Reagan when he was Governor.
You have me stumped on this one. I think he liked jelly beans always but it became a thing when he was governor, I believe.
Fun Fact: During the Inauguration for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, Vice President Pence used Reagans Bible, while Trump used his childhood Bible, and the one used by President Abraham Lincoln .
