- Description of Pictures: Diary of President Ronald Reagan, June 4-6, 1984:
In June 1984, during a 10-day trip to Europe, President Reagan marked the 50th anniversary of D-day by visiting the beaches of Normandy. On June 6, he paid tribute to the Army Rangers who scaled the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc to disable enemy artillery. They were among the first American forces to storm the shores on D-day.
While Reagan's soaring rhetoric made it one of his most memorable speeches, here he describes his time at Pointe du Hoc simply as "an emotional experience for everyone."

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- DIARY_070610_06.JPG: The Reagan Diaries:
During his two terms as the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded, by hand, his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine day-to-day occurrences of his presidency.
Each night, Reagan wrote about the events of the day, which often included his relationships with other world leaders and unforgettable moments that defined the era: his first inauguration, the end of the Cold War, the Iran hostage crisis, and the assassination attempt by John Hinkley, Jr.
President Reagan wrote of his love and devotion for Nancy Reagan and their family, his belief in God and the power of prayer.
The diaries are filled with Ronald Reagan's trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor providing a striking insight into one of this nation's most important presidencies and shedding new light on the character of an American leader.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
