November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month:
In August 1994 at age 83 Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. In November in a handwritten letter to nation he wrote, “I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease... At the moment I feel just fine. I intend to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have always done... I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead. Thank you, my friends. May God always bless you”
