Ronald Regan: Ladies and Gentlemen

Today is a day for mourning and remembering

They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover it's truths

And they had that special grace

That special spirt that says

They lived their lives

We will never forget them as they prepared for their journey and waved

Goodbye and slipped the Surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God
