Ronald Reagan: “Our national economy was near the breaking point, and so were our local communities.”

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

America is the shining city on the hill. Welcome all who enter to follow their dreams.

I'm sure they'll—as we will—they'll take it for what it is.

Let us always take with us the spirit of vision, skill, and excellence.
