I am a 66-year-old man and I feel so fortunate to have lived during the years this man was the President of the United States. President Reagan (In my opinion) was the greatest President of my entire lifetime.
GOAT
If Trump can flip California, Reagan might
have competition.

Have you seen the Trump parades all over the State? Beverly Hills?
@scooty470
Gotta agree. Reagans were substantial, whereas may of Trumps are just here for the show
He was the best. I enjoyed everyday he was President. One in a million.
I’m a Brit, and looking at Ronald Reagan from a non political point of view, I think he was a nice guy who tried his best. Seemed like a very approachable guy with a sharp wit and a deep sense of duty doing a very difficult job. After all, you can’t please all of the people all of the time. The world, as I see it, needs more people like him.
Oh, those were the days! I loved them both.
What a beautiful piece of tape, they wère great.
I agree that we should have more exceptional people like Ronald Reagan!!
Was the best
At least Raegan was always civil, friendly and welcoming unlike inhuman nasty narcisstic ex President Trump.
It really hit her hard!! Total class from beginning to end! There will never be another Reagan!
Ronald Reagan was without a doubt the best president in my lifetime. He was the first person I was old enough to vote for and I will forever be a Reagan Republican.
A Hollywood ending to a beautiful Presidency. What a man and great American. I will always love him.
A true American. He was born to be the President
I was too!! I also remember after voting for the first time I was with three of my friends from High School and we confirmed each other’s votes LOL “You voted for Reagan, right?” It was, an American rite of passage!
So guys how do you like the GOP now folks??
@@hazeljones5272 yes
How beautiful America used to be,
Still is
@@floresaza253 What you think about Trump encouraging and ordering his supporters to storm the capital last week. “Still is” didn’t age well lol
@@darkvaderr6062 you actually listen to what he said? He didn't order anyone to storm it. Quit regurgitating the media's lies.
@@darkvaderr6062 bruh u got fed with so much lies by the media
@@floresaza253 He didn't order but "asked" people to "go down" to the capitol. After the capitol storm, he said that all these people who stormed the capitol building DO NOT represent the country. Tell me why he said it? They are the Trump's supporters. Wake up, racists.
He certainly was the best President of my lifetime by far. God Bless America 🇺🇸
A giant among Presidents. Knew exactly what the world needed and delivered in spades.
The one, The only President Ronald Reagan. A true American Patriot. He Loved God, Loved Our Military, and Loved Our Country. I miss him.
Reagan never demonstrated any scholarly understanding of the religion that he professed to believe in. He dodged active military service during the Second World War. He ignored the suffering of the poorest Americans and identifiable minority groups. Reagan increased the federal debt, reduced taxes at the cost of domestic programming.
@@seanwebb605 Are you insane? He tried his absolute hardest to get in the army even though he was barred from joining due to health problems. He increased the federal debt but in exchange he reduced unemployment AND inflation.
Emmett Niles Oh you are going to regurgitate that mythology. The Reaganomics better than you were four years ago lie.
Couldn't have said it better .
@@seanwebb605
It's easy to see now the JACKASS coming out of the woodwork in this era.
I feel pity for you . Your ignorance Gos far and deep .
Nice to see people actually listening, instead of just concentrating on their phone to film the event.
Yea its, true, people were more respectful of their President and each other and thats exactly why COVID was pushed off for 2020 to remind people to behave and be fearful !
How many people had smartphones in 1989?
An Era without phones....to be accurate

These days are gone. Never to return. I was a Reagan patriot. Started college in 1985. He was my real first president. What a wonderful time.😢
The love the white house staff had for the Reagans is the best commentary on the type of people the Reagans were. Clearly, kind, decent, and generous of heart.
Agreed, I would guess there was not this level of affection for many of the other presidents.
As a 60 year old German i can say: Chapeau! What a President and what he have done for the rest of the world. A great man and a great 1. Lady, both deserve the utmost respect! So sad to see where America is going in these days.
These days? Its been going wrong for 50 years.
Olaf thank you very much for your Heart felt words. God Bless...
@@drydesert8036 thank you very much, the good old times, where we are drifting in these days. Take care and all the best for you ❤️
A kind man who truly loved his family, animals and America. The compassion they had here is obvious from their tears. What is also nice touch about this is you can see the President clearly, without cell phones going up in the air. Sorry, I am an old timer.
President Reagan was by far the best President I’ve seen in my lifetime. He still makes me laugh in his videos. Thank you, for your stories and your wit. Thanks for making our country great again. I miss you terribly. They say behind every great man is a great woman. We were lucky
to have both.
I don't know that there has ever been a more gracious presidential couple. To this day we have deep respect and admiration for President Ronald Reagan and his beloved wife Nancy. May they both Rest in Peace. God bless their family.

Ngl I cried a little. I was never around when he was president but reading about him in history books at school what he did for America. He is honestly the best president ever
This is a big part of why I became a Republican. God bless the Reagans.
Only the politics of Ronald Reagan made the German reunification possible. I will always be grateful to Ronald Reagan for that.
A Hollywood ending to a beautiful Presidency. What a man and great American. I will always love him.
It’s sad that we’ve lost both of them. They are truly missed.
I agree
That’s right. They would’ve both spoken out against Trump. Both of them would’ve been called a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only).
@@jasonarokiaraj9817 uhhhh, no
@@jasonarokiaraj9817 reagan is very very far from a RINO
@@Hamster_Pants Reagan was definitely very far from a far-right Republican and completely far from a Trump supporter.
He was the best. I enjoyed everyday he was President. One in a million.
Can you name the other 300...?
American workers enjoyed their frozen $4.00 per hour jobs for twelve years while the cost of living tripled. Thank you Ron.
@@keithhyttinen8275 I'll never forget going to the payroll clerk at work, I thought they had made a mistake and paid me too much, only to learn that with Reagan, the federal witholding had gone way down. It was like getting a big raise. I've voted Republican ever since.

So classy! The genuine connection they had with people. Just amazing.
This was so sad of an event. I almost cried. Here's to you the gipper where every your mortal essence is today.
So much mutual respect and affection on display here such a contrast to what we see now in January 2021.
You are so right
Marvelous --- I've sat here crying my eyes out, watching the greatest president & wonderful man ( again) --- Thank you, UA-cam !!!!!
We could sure use a president like him now Anne Baldwin We have a president now who is wrecking this country
Truly, well said. Brought me to tears. Compared to what we have today, I cannot iimagine how we get through the next 3 years. This was the absolute epitome of what a President and First Lady should look lke and act like. God Rest them Both.
I feel sorry for the young folks today as they will likely never know how good it can be. Sure it was not perfect but at least members on both sides of the aisle had respect for president Reagan and they were not constantly bickering or trying to get him impeached.
Exactly!!!
Well, Reagan would have been impeached for Iran contra but he was leaving. Democrats controlled both the house and senate at the time. Reagan is lucky he was affable.
No reason!! 👍👍
@@alwillk he would have won a 3rd term. Easy. He only won 58.8% of the popular vote in 84. Carried EVERY STATE!!! That's never going to happen again. Unless we become socialists, or alike....
I'm a Democrat and this made me cry. I always respected him and Nancy.
Me to, but he truly was a great leader and a family man.
With all respect R.I.Peace...God Bless
This is a real treasure!
A better time. Glad I lived through it.
God I miss that man and the last vestige of decent politics he represented.
I grew up as a kid during the Reagan years...I will never forget.
It was a great time
Me too. We had such national pride. He made us so proud.
In Ronald Reagan's farewell ceremony, he and his wife received as many heartwarming messages as they couldn't imagine. At the beginning of this video, many people congratulated to president Ronald Reagan's meriterous achievements and illustrious accomplishments. These are what they deserved to receive. Many people in US are proud of their idenities and recognitions they have.
Awonderful all rounder
as a Brit I think he was one of the best the USA ever had God Bless the USA
Most Americans love Churchill and Thatcher. Reagan and those two were respected around the world even if some of their own people despised them.
God bless you Ronald Reagan. You are still remembered and loved!!
A job well done indeed. He presided over the dismantling of the iron curtain. I am filled with nostalgia seeing his videos. I am a fan of him since his Hollywood days. Thank you Reagon Library .
HE WAS THE GREAT AND KIND MAN THAT WE PRAISED ALL THE TIMES
I lack of words to describe this amazing couple.
RIP
I look forward to a day that will have this level of sincerity in our White House again. No Administration will ever be perfect, if it were it wouldn’t be needed in the first place. But here we see people working in earnest to do the best they can in service of their own interest, yet not void of the overall interest of humanity.
Love the charisma. The emotions portray the true sense of a true leader.sad I never met him.
The greatest president ever

Auld Lang Syne, such a fitting end to the Presidency of a truly great American.
The greatest president there ever was!
Agreed.
Reminds me of eleanor Roosevelt .
If you ignore the administration's response to the HIV/AIDs epidemic, the savings and loan scandal, Iran-Contra Affair, invasion of Grenada without the authorization of congress, increasing the federal debt while reducing social services and programs to the poor. Look at all of the staff and cabinet members who were indicted during his two terms in office. The man lacked the education, intelligence and understanding of government needed to be president of the local kennel club.
@@seanwebb605 really, why dont you run for president smarty pants
@@samkuzba2475 Why do supporters of Reagan always dislike intelligent people?
His wife is so beautiful and lovely too she is so sweet and she is very serious about her housbond job and you can see it in her face With her beautiful smile 😃
A big broad-shouldered, kind-hearted, far-seeing president.
He claimed his eye sight was too poor to serve an active role in the military during the Second World War. Instead he stayed home in California and made training and propaganda films for the army.
@@seanwebb605 Ronald Reagan was commissioned as officer in the Army Reserve in 1935. In November 1941, Reagan was called up but disqualified for combat duty because of his astigmatism. Reagan was extremely nearsighted, he was one of the earliest wearers of contact lenses. read more about it at

Thank you Mr. President!
One of the greatest presidents in US history. Arguably, the best president in my lifetime.
yea in my experiance with presidents you either love the president ...or you hate the president...or you dont care one way or the other...but this is the president i loved
Really? How profound!
Absolutely beautiful couple, ceremony and wonderful 8 years with president Reagan. I will never forget how safe I felt with him in charge . RIP
I loved The Gipper & Nancy, classy, patriotic, upbeat, economic greatness, unity & a love for our great land!!! I miss them & those days
Say what u want Dems but. . . None of your boys have ever come close to Reagan.
I am a Reagan guy too but, FDR...
Very true grate American president of our time.. is a shame that we have ended up with Trump a self center, demagogue, with no empathy or compassion for the American people, is all about himself.. all I can hope for is that he's voted out.

America is greater because of President Ronald Reagan! He lead with foresight, perseverance and humor. He has been gone for 16 years now but we can still enjoy what he gave to our nation. We love you Mr. President!
I loved his jokes, esp the Soviets ones. It's the way he delivered it that made it so funny. His speech on the Challenger was the best
Yeah, it was funny when all those people got aids and addicted to crack while he did nothing.
@@alwillk well, no POTUS is perfect.
@al d....Wow. Someone who thinks it's the job of a president or gov't to clean your needles and wrap up your dong. Never mind personal responsibility, comrade.
@@alwillk And how exactly was President Reagan responsible for nasty, dirty people doing nasty, dirty things...? You perhaps one of them ??? Go back to being the useless creature you are
I could not help but get a little choked up myself as this marked the beginning of the end of the 80s, my favorite decade. Notice not a single smartphone in the crowd. We actually lived life instead of looking at a phone the majority of the day.
Me too. I miss the 80s.
What are touching finest moments..........a President who is gifted by words and his ordinary first lady
White House staff felt that the Reagans treated them all as family, warm, approachable. Not demanding.
People cried when they left.
Those same people - the ones who stayed on - felt demeaned by the condescending Clintons.
😢😢😢😢
No they like Ron. They hated Nancy.
Actually, they loved both of them. I do, too. If they were alive, they would’ve voted for Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020 because they would’ve known that it should be country over party. Trump has hijacked the Republican Party. It’s no longer the Republican Party. It’s now the Party of Trump.
He must be reeling with disbelief, disgust and grief at what is happening now.
Nah, I’m pretty sure he’s still dead.
What a coincidence, the one day I look something up that happened over twenty years ago, it is posted that same day (today)
What a pleasure it must've been to work under such a great American President and Patriot
I'm crying I miss them soooooo much RIP MY PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY
If you REALLY want to cry, watch his funeral
It was sad when Nancy kissed his coffin and didn’t want to leave so sad.
I really miss you Mr President and Mrs Reagan! You were the reason that I became a Republican.
What Ken Duberstein said goes double for me 32 years later. He was a GREAT president and I'm proud that he was my first Republican vote and I never went back.
bless you President Reagan'
You were the first president I was honored to vote for , the most recent I voted for Trump. That is my third time’s that I voted.
Well, You know what Trump says. “I love the poorly educated”
@@alwillk 😃😃😃
One of the GREATEST!!!
We should thank God for Pres. Reagan. What a Giant Example he displayed for Presidents to come after him. What an Honor to have lived through the days he served us. I am deeply touched by the way he was given a Farewell. Rest in Peace, Mr. President.
These were a great 8 years...
First time I have seen this video. Class act and a great human being. The president of the United States hasn't
been the same since he left.
The spirit of America is seen in President Reagan’s greatness. He was loved everyone and members of all parties. This president made me a Republican. RIP President Ronald Reagan.
How humble heart he the was and Nancy was also. He was going to carry gift box by himself. RIP both of you. Great POTUS and FLOTUS America has ever seen.
When there was integrity, dignity and humor in the white house. Today? Dear lord, what have happened to the US and the presidency? Thank you Mr. Reagan for your service, god and nature bless.
I am so happy to have known Ronald Reagan. He is such a fine example of a great man who cares about the people of the USA!
This is so beautiful. 😪
So beautiful to watch ,,
What a great man and lady
Who loved there country,there people ,
And the world ,,,,missed in many many ways
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🥃🥃🥃 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I wasn't alive when Reagan was in but by what research documents say and what people say this man was clear and thorough. He made sure to think before he spoke. Our president now which trump doesn't even do that. Down with trump we need another reagon
Your current resident in the white house is so much better, isn't he? Brandon does not even give a single 💩 about you and your fellow citizens. Increasing gas prices/inflation, babyfood shortages, continued warmongering, corruption etc. You can look forward to many gaffes.
Other world leaders have lost respect for him.
Let's go Brandon!!!
What a decent and loving dream-team your Reagans were. Even in Holland-EU they were loved and respected by many.
More people need to watch this and other times of his time in office I wish this time in history would repeat itself
A wonderful President and First Lady! They were very kind, were elegant and down to earth, very approachable and everyone loved them in our country and worldwide!
What a great man
Never before and never since! CLASS!
Me myself not an american but someone who knows that president Reagan help liberate Nicaragua from the sandinista tirany a lot of us nicaraguans will be thanksfull to president Reagan.....👍👍👍👍
Yes. When Reagan was in the hospital after being shot, the cowardly Congress cut off support to your Contra freedom fighters. But Reagan covertly helped them even if it tarnished his reputation.
Thank you for all they did for us all. 💖
A brave and calm man.
Nancy , a very loving 🥰, intelligent , supporting , First Lady who surely had a good contribution in his historic success 👌🏻👌🏻
First President I ever voted for... And still my favorite President.
And mine !
God bless you, Mr. Reagan.
President Eisenhower was beginning his second term the year I was born and the Johnson Goldwater 64 campaign was my first vivid memories of a President. My first vivid memories of Reagan started two years later when he was elected Governor of my home state of California. I thought he was a good Governor and a great President. He was the greatest president of my lifetime and, so far, he still is! As an aside I often think about Kennedy and the promise we saw in him before he was cut down and his promise not fully realized.
Well Sir, Ronald Reagan has been the best President of my adulthood (I'm 57). He was a true American, Patriot, Statesman, Leader, who truly cared about America and it's citizens. He protected America, it's people, and it's honor. When terrorists murdered American citizen Leon Klinghoffer on the Achille Lauro, President Reagan sent the military after them. When General Dozier was kidnapped by the Red Brigade in Italy, he was responsible for Dozier's rescue. He put Gaddafi in his place.
Can you imagine how much better off America would be if he'd been in office on
9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Minneapolis, the Coronavirus pandemic... And I too wonder about JFK and his brother and the good they would have been able to do had they not been assassinated. I think about President Truman who was Vice President and became President when FDR died. Truman was regular people. One of the FEW presidents who wasn't a millionaire. He and First Lady Bess received the first two Medicare cards ... Neither he, Kennedy, or Reagan would have stood for the pitiful social security benefits that people have to live with today. None of those Presidents would have dared to publically express like for a quote by a dictator (Mussolini) who was responsible for the murder of thousands of Italians from 1923-1945.
America is in dire need of someone just like Ronald Reagan.
Beloved.
He's was the leader that'll believe in "The Just Say No"
HAND SALUTE TO THE WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO THE REGANS!
First prez i voted for, prez T reminds me alot of reagan, both loved their country
You ARE kidding - right??!!
45 cant compare to Reagan
A Great President,Patriot,and a true American who loved his wife and country and made us proud to be an American,and he was a true example for us to follow as we approach the coming year 2020.
Lovely Couple so missed them🤗😇
The best president in the best era of our country. Even his opposition respected him.
So much class, grace and dignity. How I miss them!
Beautiful!! Love you both!!
