It is truly hard to believe that 36 years have passed since that happened.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

March 30, 1981: John Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan outside a hotel where the newly elected president had just spoken. After the assassination attempt, as Reagan was moved to the operating table, he said to the doctors, "Please tell me you're all Republicans." Dr. Joseph Giordano, a Democrat, replied, "We're all Republicans today."

I was in our local Christian book store at the time.  They had the radio on.  I was horrified.....
