Ronald Reagan: “The light of the democratic ideal is not slowly fading away.”

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.

The pursuit of peace is, of course, always in season.

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

We understood the key to prosperity was low-inflationary growth, and we achieved it.
