His second marriage, to Nancy Davis, 1952, had children Patti and Ron.


His name was Ronald Reagan, born FEBRUARY 6, 1911, and died June 5, 2004.


At age sixty-nine, he was the oldest person elected U.S. President, and sixty-nine days after his inauguration, he survived an assassination attempt.


At the Alfred M. Landon Lecture Series, 1982, Ronald Reagan stated:


"We can't have it both ways. We can't expect God to protect us in a crisis and just leave Him over there on the shelf in our day-to-day living.


I wonder if sometimes He isn't waiting for us to wake up, He isn't maybe running out of patience."


At Reunion Arena in Dallas, 1984, Ronald Reagan stated:


"America needs God more than God needs America. If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."
