Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) released the following statement in honor of President Reagan’s 100th Birthday.
“Today we recognize a great American, and a great man. Ronald Wilson Reagan made an early impression in the lives of many, including my own. His resolve and humor struck a chord, that still rings in the hearts of many. His presidency came during a time of great trial in our nation’s history, when inflation plagued our country, unemployment hovered close to the double digits, and communism was threatening our very way of life. Through the tough times, Reagan’s vision for the American people had a way of energizing all of us.
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) released the following statement in honor of President Reagan’s 100th Birthday. “Today we recognize a great American, and a great man. Ronald Wilson Reagan made an early impression in the lives of many, including my own. His resolve and humor struck a chord that still rings in the hearts of many. His presidency came during a time of great trial in our nation’s history, when inflation plagued our country, unemployment hovered close to the double digits, and communism was threatening our very way of life. Through the tough times, Reagan’s vision for the American people had a way of energizing all of us. “His inaugural address in 1981 was the first held on the west side of the Capitol, which allowed the monuments on the national mall, and the heroes they commemorate to be audience to his vision. His vision of defending conservative values is something we can all learn from. Former President Reagan will live on in all of our hearts and on this day I am proud to celebrate his life and all his accomplishments for this great country on what would be his 100th birthday.”
