22 nation's children helped lower crime and drug use in our neighborhoods; and

24 the restoration of pride in America, her values and those cherished by the
25 free world and prepared America's armed forces to meet twenty-first century
26 challenges; and
27 WHEREAS, President Reagan's vision of "peace through strength" led to the
28 end of the Cold War and the ultimate demise of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing
29 basic human rights for millions of people; and

31 ninety-three years.
