Their hard work, resourcefulness and dedication to family and country created the freest, happiest nation
In the pursuit of that American dream, each generation has proven anew the dignity of work and working people
We must always remember that of all our resources, none is more valuable or important than the American worker
"We inherit a precious heritage, its preservation and enhancement is our joyous task and grave responsibility," Reagan said
