Remembering the Gipper...

“I’ve always thought New Year’s Day was an especially American tradition, full of the optimism and hope we’re famous for in our daily lives—an energy and confidence we call the American spirit. Perhaps because we know we control our own destiny, we believe deep down inside that working together we can make each new year better than the old... Reviewing the old year, we try to decide what we can do better in the new... [L]et us thank God for life and the blessings He’s put before us. High among them are our families, our freedom, and the opportunities of a new year.”

Ronald Reagan
