I can honestly say that Frater Ronald Reagan was one of the main reasons that I joined this fraternity. As a kid during his administration, I remember with great fondness of him, that I was glad to have him as a president. Looking back, with more knowledge the government and the office of the presidency, I am more emboldened by his time in office. We as a fraternity and we as a nation, are fortunate to have had such true greatness in a leader.
We as Tekes have two responsibilities now to honor him. One, to raise as much money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association. We mustn't let his affliction die with him. We can honor his memory by helping defeat this horrible disease through philanthropical efforts. Second, we can hold our heads up high, as Americans (referring to our fraters here in the States). One of the greatest things that Reagan did during his administration was to make the American people proud to call themselves American again.
Words cannot express the sorrow I truly feel at this moment.
God Bless President Ronald Reagan, God Bless this fraternity, and God Bless the United States of America!
