Subject: Fw: Nancy Reagan's Letter of Forgiveness to John Hinkley
We could all learn so much from this elegant
and gracious lady.
You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged
young man who shot President Reagan in the early 1980's.
Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie Foster
and in his twisted mind, loved Jodie to the point that to make
himself well-known to her, he attempted to assassinate
President Reagan.
There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been rehabilitated. Consequently, you will appreciate the following letter
from Nancy Reagan to John Hinckley:
To: John Hinckley
From: Mrs. Nancy Reagan
My family and I wanted to drop you a short note
to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides
you are making in your recovery.
In our country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness,
we want you to know that we bear no grudge against you for
shooting President Reagan.
We are fully aware that mental stress and pain could have
driven you to such an act of desperation.
We're confident that you will soon make a complete
recovery and return to your family to join the world again
as a healthy and productive man.
Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan & Family
P.S.
While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been
banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado.
You might want to look into that.
