Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Indeed, distinguished volunteer service has become such an integral part of our way of life that it sometimes does not receive the recognition it deserves."

"And that's because, thanks to the efforts and endeavors of our recipients, America's a better and a more generous land."

"Working together, government and the private sector can accomplish far more than either working alone."

"Doing things in a neighborly way, not expecting officialdom to come in and do it for you, and appreciate it."
