Ronald Reagan's Birthday Today

Via Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog, here's a comprehensive compilation of Reagan tributes on this, his 94th birthday. Of course, the celebration of his legacy today wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Library.

Be sure to check out Secret Service agent John Barletta's tribute:

The former agent said he had lunch with Mrs. Reagan about a month ago and "it was the first time she laughed in a long time. We did a lot of remember whens."

Barletta cares for Reagan's horse Sgt. Murphy, a huge (16.1 hands) quarterhorse/thoroughbred mix. It was the last horse ridden by Reagan before the onset of Alzheimer's limited his activities.

"I miss him a lot," the 50-year-old agent said. "I got to be so close to him. I was eight years in the White House with him," the 50-year-old Barletta said, adding he hadn't seen Reagan for several years before his death."
