I was in that crowd as a 9 year old kid, I remember I was on my Daddy’s shoulders. I’m glad I found this video...When President left he had his windows down & I felt like he waved right at me. What a great day for a 9 year old kid!
@@MrHurricaneFloyd Haven't you seen the videos where he has the cameras pan across the crowds, because He said the fake news never shows the size of the crowds at his rallies? I saw those on youtube. :) And I would love to have links to research about your claims, honestly. Do you have any? Thanks.
I joined the military under his watch and have been ever since. I have fought and risked my life many times for our freedom.. for our people, our freedom and our Constitution! Including the Bill of Rights. Especially the first and second amendment and will continue until I breathe my final breath.
@@judymcdougal5204 thank you. Both of you. It is nice to know some people appreciate what we do. My goal and my brothers and sisters feel the same. We pray we can help by just being there. And we can help in anyway. I was a Ranger in Africa. They had a civil war. People, some god people don’t think we should be in other countries. I agree with being in Iran. We didn’t know but they had no weapons of mass destruction. But people were being starved until the wasted to nothing! We had to help them! They weren’t getting the food our tax dollars and. The kind donations people gave. They weren’t getting a bite of it! The opposition was taking all the food that was for the people. They came to the drop of sites but they were beaten and shot trying to grab a Handful of rice. If you’ve ever missed a meal and felt hungry.imagine not having food for days? Starving is a lot of Pain! These people would have their arm cut off for a bit of food!
That's cool. 1980 was the first election I was old enough to vote in, and I could not wait to vote for Reagan. Voted for him again in 1984. I was on active duty for both votes & voted by absentee ballot back when they meant something.
I voted for him to be on the Republican Ticket. My first election after becoming old enough to vote. Wish we had him, now. He could really inspire Democrats and Republicans to work together. A true leader!
I worked for a lot of years attending court in that very courthouse over the past couple decades and served in the 101st Airborne while President Reagan was in office. Wish I’d been able to attend this speech but I was in Infantry School at Ft. Benning GA.
I was there, and so was my wife! We were both kids, and we actually saw her in the video! She was near where the cameras were. I was on the right hand side.
I was there in the crowd as well. I was 7. My parents were democrats so my neighbor a republican brought me. Don't remember much at all. Glad I found this so I can hear it years later.
Trump has been the best President we had since Reagan. Before him, we would have to go to JFK. He had trouble keeping it in his pants. And if he wrote his book instead of his wife. Jacqueline Kennedy was one of the greatest first ladies all the presidents! Roosevelts wife I forget her name was also a great First Lady.
I was there that day as a 7 year old. My grandpa took me and my sister. My grandfather was a WW2 vet and was so proud of this moment. I've lived here in Athens all my life. That 40 years went fast.

He may have been waving right at you.
I drive by that courthouse everyday.
Can you tell me if that is JFK JR at the end of the video on stage? It sure looks like it to me.
Joe Biden never got a reception from a crowd like that.

You do know that Alinski didn't mean that works on everyone.
@@MrHurricaneFloyd Have you been watching Trump rally videos with your EYES CLOSED?? Trump always get that welcome and response!

I wonder what would happen if Joe Biden went to Athens?

We had one with Trump.

When we say Make America Great Again, we mean this. 👌🏻
Was hoping he was going to speak more on the Battle of Athens and the duty of Americans to oppose tyranny and use the 2A to do so.
He was anti 2A after he got shot. Brady bill? Duh
I was hoping the same. I share that video at least twice a year.

Hope you enjoyed getting robbed all these years from Reaganomics.

When presidents were presidential! Had the opportunity to shake this man's hand when I was a teenager!
This literally sounds exactly like what these ppl say to steal your money today but with way more words and with sounding more intelligent.. smh

I feel like maybe. _JUST MAYBE._ that I’m being taxed unfairly in 2021 😂
WOW......a President that can walk down stairs......imagine that!!
A good president ❤❤❤❤❤

Everyone else talking about the reason there here. I can't stop wondering if the band who played the POTUS fanfare was a middle school band.
Nice to see all those American flags in the crowd and not a bunch of other countries flags
I was there with my husband and son!! So exciting!!!
Reagan later went on to infringe on our constitutional right to bear arms, the same right evoked by the heroes who stood up for Athens, TN.
Greatest leader of all time....ever.....;)
Of all time?
@@greezythumb I think perhaps Rafiq is being excited, which is a totally legit feeling of hearing a Reagan speech.
Andrew Jackson
I remember this well.A great speaker & an honest man.We need another Reagan.👍👍
We have a good president now,let's keep him! Trump!
We have the best president in my 72 years on this earth....
I believe I saw a good friend of mine on that stage.

Sounds like Mayberry got their band back together
I loved it. Very charming. Conjures up images of old- timey, small town America.
“1946 Battle of Athens”
I was there as a 12 year old kid, sitting on the shoulders of a Bryan College student that my dad had arranged to take me to see Reagan.
Wait a minute, the actor is president when did that happen 😮
Vote democrats out
Can anyone tell me if that is JFK JR. on stage at the end of the video?
I thought it was 1984, not 85, because it was the election year.
Reagan’s speech 10/10
Marching band 0/10

Oh, the good ol days when interest rates were only 9%.. I’m sure which this current administration we’ll be back there again.
Ah yes corporatism and trickle down economics with a touch of a shifted tax burden from the rich to the middle class. “Voo doo economics” is great!
Down from Carter's 21%.
Was too young to vote then but he would have got mine both times.
Welcome to the Family Feud!
Mr. President, name something found on a farm.
“Well,...”
Show me a WELL!
