Ronald Reagan

"The Gipper" based on the fact that in the movie "Knute Rockne, All American" Reagan played the part of George Gipp whose nickname was "The Gipper". A line from the movie was "Win One for the Gipper" an appeal to the rest to win against all odds. "Win one for the Gipper" became a common slogan for Reagan and his suporters when he went into politics.

It is a novelty piece made privately and is not a mint issue. The Mint has never struck half dollars in gold or a gold-colored metal. It might retail for a few dollars as a curiosity but from a coin collector's standpoint it's an altered coin and has no extra value,

One of his wives divorced from him and the other one was his real wife.

The Iran-Contra Affair involved three nations: (1) the United States, (2) Iran, and (3) Nicaragua. It was a secret arrangement led by US President Ronald Reagan to sell US weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 and use the profits from those sales to fund the Anti-Communist Contra Rebels in Nicaragua. In this way, Reagan was "officially" keeping his hands clean of the death and destruction in Nicaragua.

Yes. Reagan was an officer in W W II. His eyesight was so bad that he could not serve overseas. Also he was already a movie star, so he was assigned to make training films for the army after he went active duty. He joined the reserves before he made any movies by faking his eye test. I think he wanted to ride horses in the cavalry.

The US was not at war while Reagan was in office. The US did invade Grenada and keep troops there for about two months. The US makes some strikes against Iranian warships in the Persian Gulf. There was a messy affair concerning arms sales to Nicaraguan rebels that the US got involved in.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."

Former US President Ronald Reagan was born on 6th February 1911.

Died June 5, 2004 (aged 93)

Reagan died of pneumonia[278] at his home in Bel Air, California on the afternoon of June 5, 2004.[279] A short time after his death, Nancy Reagan released a statement saying: "My family and I would like the world to know that President Ronald Reagan has died after 10 years of Alzheimer's Disease at 93 years of age. We appreciate everyone's prayers."[279] President George W. Bush declared June 11 a National Day of Mourning,[280] and international tributes came in from around the world.[281] Reagan's body was taken to the Kingsley and Gates Funeral Home in Santa Monica, California later in the day, where well-wishers paid tribute by laying flowers and American flags in the grass.[282] On June 7, his body was removed and taken to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where a brief family funeral was held conducted by Pastor Michael Wenning. His body lay in repose in the Library lobby until June 9; over 100,000 people viewed the coffin.[283]

On June 9, Reagan's body was flown to Washington, D.C. where he became the tenth United States president to lie in state; in thirty-four hours, 104,684 people filed past the coffin.[284]

On June 11, a state funeral was conducted in the Washington National Cathedral, and presided over by President George W. Bush. Eulogies were given by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,[285] former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and both Presidents Bush. Also in attendance were Mikhail Gorbachev, and many world leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and interim presidents Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, and Ghazi al-Yawer of Iraq.

After the funeral, the Reagan entourage was flown back to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, where another service was held, and President Reagan was interred.[286] At the time of his death, Reagan was the longest-lived president in U.S. history, having lived 93 years and 120 days (2 years, 8 months, and 23 days longer than John Adams, whose record he surpassed). He is now the second longest-lived president, just 45 days fewer than Gerald Ford. He was the first United States president to die in the 21st century, and his was the first state funeral in the United States since that of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1973.

His burial site is inscribed with the words he delivered at the opening of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library: "I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and that there is purpose and worth to each and every life."[287]

Ronald Reagan joined the Army's Inactive Reserve in 1937, before he was a movie star. He was called to active duty in spring 1942, a few months after the United States entered World War II. He wanted to serve overseas but was denied that request and given limited duty because of nearsightedness.

Reagan was assigned to California Army posts and put to work on military training and morale films. Mostly, he was a narrator. Years later, during his political career, some critics ridiculed this form of service. But Reagan's biographers of various political stripes agree that he wanted to do something more substantial. He was loaned out to act in one feature film during the war, the flag-waving musical "This Is the Army."

Reagan was discharged in late 1945, several months after the end of World War II.

Ronald Reagan became a radio announcer in Iowa after graduating from college. In Des Moines, Iowa he worked for radio station WHO recreating accounts of Chicago Cubs baseball games from the WHO studio utilizing information obtained via telegraph. An often-repeated tale of Reagan's radio days recounts how he delivered "play-by-play broadcasts" of Chicago Cubs baseball games he had never seen. His flawless recitations were based solely on telegraph accounts of games in progress. He took a screen test in 1937 while he was travelling in California with the Cubs. That resulted in Reagan moving to California and obtaining a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers studios.
