The Presidential Oath of Office
January 20, 1981

I, Ronald Reagan, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.

The Constitution of the United States
Preamble

We The People of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Declaration of Independence
Preamble

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Gold Star Families Memorial Monument
This monument dedicated November 12, 2018, honors families who lost loved ones serving in the Armed Forces of the United States.

The first granite panel depicts our HOMELAND: from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library to the hills of Simi Valley to the Pacific Ocean and the Ventura County coast of California and beyond... we are the United States of America

The second granite panel is dedicated to FAMILY: the family members who are left behind to forge a future from this loss.

The third granite panel represents PATRIOTS: Americans who inspired generations and fought so courageously to protect the freedoms of our country and raise the flag of our great nation.

The fourth granite panel illustrates SACRIFICE: President and Mrs. Reagan honored members of all the Armed Services who fought valiantly to preserve our way of life.

Finally the hollow silhouette of the saluting soldier represents the void created when a warrior is lost in the service of the United States, making the ultimate sacrifice for peace and freedom.

In tribute to America's heroes, this monument was made possible by the generosity of:
Gary Sinise
Phyllis Gorby
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute
The National Archives and Records Administration

That what is right will always eventually triumph
And there is purpose and worth to each and every life
