Ronald Reagan: “America is at peace, and the economy is in one piece.”

This is a great day.

The strength of our nation has never been with the Washington colony but with the American people.

I do hereby proclaim December 17, 1988, as Wright Brothers Day.

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.
