Who among us could imagine the sights and sounds of the U.S. Capitol last week? This is not the United States that we all thought we lived in and certainly cannot be moving forward. As we watched the violent and destructive protests at the U.S. Capitol last week, as well as in several American cities this past year, we were reminded of President Reagan’s words from 1982 when he said, “without law and order, our society would soon crumble, dashing the dreams of our forebears and mocking the heroes and heroines whose sacrifices have made this great land a beacon of hope and a symbol of freedom for the world.” We look forward to the days when our nation can resume a peaceful democracy, one that causes no harm to people or property.
Ronald Reagan
