Earlier today I had the honor of attending the dedication ceremony for President Reagan’s new statue in the U.S. Capitol.
The event was attended by a lot of big-name political and media figures, including Nancy Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Ed Meese, Jim Baker, Senate Leaders Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, House GOP Leader John Boehner, and even former Reagan nemeses Sam Donaldson and Chris Matthews.
After working the past 15 years in Washington politics, it’s easy for me to get pretty jaded and cynical sometimes, but this was a truly special ceremony, especially Mrs. Reagan’s brief, emotional remarks. Here’s a short video I put together that features some of the highlights, including short interviews I conducted with Dr. Kissinger and Chris Matthews about their memories of President Reagan:
