Seldom does someone like Ronald Reagan, or Sarah Palin, come along. It is fitting that we honor the 100th birthday of this great man. As those of you who follow us know, Sarah Palin gave a speech sponsored by the Young Americas Foundation to kick off a weekend of celebration of Reagan’s 100th birthday, which is today.

In her speech, Gov. Palin talked a bit about her experience when she visited the Reagan Ranch earlier that day. A wonderful (and accurate) account of this by Andrew Coffin can be found at BigGovernment.com. With Bristol and her son Tripp, as well as Willow and Trig, Sarah Palin enjoyed so much of what this place had to offer.

“Governor Palin and her family spent hours at the Ranch on Friday. She met with Young America’s Foundation president Ron Robinson and Vice President Kate Obenshain. She heard personal accounts of the President’s life at Rancho del Cielo—the Ranch in the heavens—from trusted Reagan friend and confident Dennis LeBlanc and former Secret Service agent John Barletta. After touring the grounds, Governor Palin even mounted a horse—confident in the saddle—and road the very same trails the President loved with Agent Barletta. She had asked if it would be possible to ride, wanting to experience the Ranch as Ronald Reagan did.”

But also she gave back to those at the ranch and the Young Americas Foundation. She met with the students and spent time with everyone there.

“Filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon, director of several films on Ronald Reagan, was present throughout the Governor’s trip. ‘Throughout the day,’ Steve told me, ‘whether it was Ranch hands, students, staff, or donors, it was obvious to me that Governor Palin was there not for herself but to give of herself. She epitomized the values she mentioned in her speech—those of duty and service she equated to our grandparents’ generation.'”
