 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2011 • ADVERTISING FE ATURE • RONALD REAGAN CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
“I grew up in a small town in America’s heartland where
values of faith in God, freedom, family, friends, and
concern for one’s neighbors were shared by all. During
my school years I worked during vacations, for a time
on construction, and then for several summers as a
lifeguard at a river beach. After finishing my education
I became a radio sports announcer, which led to acting
in Hollywood where I was elected head of our actors’
guild. I’m the only American president who was also
president of a labor union. Back then I had no intention
of engaging in national politics, but America’s a great
country filled with opportunities. In the years that
followed, including my years as governor of California
and as president, I have not forgotten the values
I learned as a boy nor have my fellow Americans.”

- Ronald Reagan, 1985 Radio Address to the Nation

As the nation sets out to celebrate the 100th birthday

of Ronald Wilson Reagan, we are reminded of his
humble upbringing and his sense of American spirit.
We honor the legacy of our 40th president in this, his
centennial year, with a series of significant events and
educational programs, including the grand opening of the
newly renovated Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum
in Simi Valley, California.

Inspired Freedom. Changed the World.
