It was a special day in New York City for those of you old enough to remember, or for anybody who was there, and I was, I was 25 at the time. Operation Sail was in full display as battleships and sailing ships of all kinds made their way along the Hudson River, including the largest flotilla of tall ships to appear in one place. At one time in modern history, It was also special because the restoration of the Statue of Liberty was celebrated, and the great lady's torch. Which had been extinguished on July 4, 1984, was relit two years later to the day. that evening aboard the USS John F.
Kennedy. President Ronald Reagan gave an address just moments before the largest public fireworks display. in American history was to begin. Here is how President Reagan. started things.
It's recorded that Shortly after the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, Celebrations took place throughout the land. and many of the former colonists They were just starting to call themselves Americans. set off cannons and marched in fife and drum parades. What a contrast with the sober scene that has taken place a short time earlier. in Independence Hall.
fifty six men came forward to sign the parchment. It was noted at the time that they pledged their lives Their fortunes and their sacred honors. And that was more than rhetoric. Each of those men knew the penalty for high treason to the Crown. We must all hang together, Benjamin Franklin said.
or assuredly we will all hang separately. and John Hancock, it is said, wrote his signature in large script, so King George could see it without his spectacles. They were brave. They stayed brave through all the bloodshed of the coming years. Their courage created a nation built on a universal claim to human dignity.
on the proposition that every man, woman, and child had a right. to a future of freedom. Reagan then read what was and still is the boldest political declaration ever written in human history. Last night, when we rededicated Miss Liberty and relit her torch, We reflected on all the millions who came here in search of the dream of freedom. inaugurated an Independence Hall.
We reflected too. On their courage in coming great distances and settling in a foreign land, and then passing on to their children and their children's children. the hope symbolized in this statue here just behind us. the hope that is America. It is a hope that someday every people and every nation of the world will know the blessings of liberty.
and it's the hope of millions all around the world. In the last few years, I've spoken at Westminster to the mother of parliaments. At Versailles, where French kings and world leaders have made war and peace. I've been to the Vatican in Rome. the Imperial Palace in Japan, and the ancient city of Beijing.
I've seen the beaches of Normandy and stood again with those boys of Puantahoque. who long ago scaled the heights. and with at that time Lisa Zanetta Hen. who was at Omaha Beach for the father she loved. The father who had once dreamed of seeing again the place where he and so many brave others had landed on D-Day.
but he had died before he could make that trip. And she made it for him. And dad, she'd said, I'll always be proud. And I've seen the successors to these brave men. The young Americans in uniform all over the world.
young Americans Like you here tonight. Who manned the mighty USS Kennedy and the Iowa and the other ships of the line? I can assure you. You out there who are listening that these These Young people are like their fathers and their grandfathers, just as willing, just as brave. and we can be just as proud.
But our prayer tonight is that the call for it Their courage will never come. and that it's important for us too. to be brave. Not so much the bravery of the battlefield. I mean the bravery of brotherhood.
Reagan then gave a brief history lesson about national unity and times of disunity too. and the story of two founders who lived out both. All through our history. Our presidents and leaders have spoken of national unity. and warned us that the real obstacle to moving forward the boundaries of freedom.
The only permanent danger to the hope that is America. comes from within. It's easy enough to dismiss this as a kind of familiar exhortation. Yet the truth is that even two of our greatest founding fathers, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. once learned this lesson late in life.
They'd worked so closely together in Philadelphia for independence. But once that was gained, And A government was formed.
something called partisan politics. began to get in the way. After a bitter and divisive campaign, Jefferson defeated Adams for the presidency in 1800. And the night before Jefferson's inauguration, Adams slipped away to Boston. disappointed.
brokenhearted. and bitter. For years their estrangement lasted. But when, when both had retired, Jefferson at sixty-eight to Monticello, and Adams at 76 to Quincy. they began through their letters to speak again to each other.
Letters that discussed almost every conceivable subject: gardening. horseback riding. Even sneezing is a cure for hiccups. but other subjects as well. The loss of loved ones.
the mystery of grief and sorrow. the importance of religion, and of course the last thoughts. the final hopes of two old men, two great patriarchs for the country that they had helped to found. and loves so deeply. It carries me back, Jefferson wrote.
about correspondence with his co-signer of the Declaration of Independence. to the times when, beset with difficulties and dangers, we were fellow laborers in the same cause. struggling for what is most valuable to man. his right to self-government. labouring always at the same oar, With some wave ever ahead threatening to overwhelm us and yet passing harmless, We rode through the storm.
with heart and hand. It was their last gift to us. this lesson in brotherhood. intolerance for each other. This insight into America's strength, as a nation.
And when both died, On the same day, within hours of each other. That date. was July 4th. 50 years exactly after that first gift to us. the Declaration of Independence.
And here is how Reagan closed things out. My fellow Americans, it falls to us to keep faith with them. and all the great Americans of our past. Believe me, if there's one impression I carry with me after the privilege of. holding for five and a half years the office held by Adams, Jefferson, and Lincoln.
It is this. that the things that unite us America's past of which we're so proud. our hopes and aspirations for the future of the world and it this much-loved country. These things far out way. What little?
divides us. And so tonight. We are reaffirmed. But Jew and Gentile. We are one nation under God.
The black and white. We are one nation, indivisible. that Republican and Democrat We are all Americans. Tonight, with heart and hand, through whatever trial and travail. We pledge ourselves to each other.
and to the cause of human freedom. The cause that has given light to this land. and hope. to the world. My fellow Americans, we're known around the world as a confident and a happy people.
Tonight, there's much to celebrate and many blessings to be grateful for.
So while it's good to talk about serious things, It's just as important. and just as American. to have some fun.
Now Let's have some fun. Let the celebration Take it. And you've been listening to Ronald Reagan aboard the USS John F. Kennedy on July 4th, 1986. The Statue of Liberty in the backdrop.
giving one of his best and least known speeches here on our American stories. Tired of spills and stains on your sofa? Wash away your worries with Anibay.
