    A must see!
    Very well done.

  2. My prayers are with his family! Such a wonderful gentleman. God be with you all! I know how we grieved when President Reagan died. I am from Oxnard, and we stood out on Las Posas Road in the farmland of Oxnard/Camarillo and there were miles and miles of us standing in love & sadness when the Reagans drove by us from Point Mugu.

    Always know, only a few loudmouthed idiots in America are stupid and hurtful to Israel! Most of us stand strongly with you!!! With great love, honor & deep respect for our Israeli brothers & sisters!!! God Be With You All!!! Pray for America! Obama needs to go!!!
