Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Ronald Reagan
"When I saddle up and ride into the sunset it will be with the knowledge that weve done great things. We kept faith with a promise as old as this land we love and as big as the sky. A brilliant vision of America as a shining city on a hill. Thanks to all of you, and with Gods help, Americas greatest chapter is still to be written, for the best is yet to come."
