In 1994, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, he wrote a heartfelt letter to all of us. ``My fellow Americans,'' he wrote, ``I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.'' Thanks to President Reagan, there is still a bright dawn in our future. For that, President Reagan deserves our gratitude, our best wishes, and our love. Happy birthday, President Reagan.
