Product Description

"As the fortieth President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan renewed "America’s confidence and made the world a better place. Known as the "Great Communicator," his unwavering vision of democracy and consummate leadership skills are credited with bringing the Cold War to an end—and guiding the U.S. to new heights of national pride, technological achievement and economic prosperity.

The official Reagan library release, Ronald Reagan: The People’s President is a fitting tribute to the life and legacy of an American icon, including unprecedented coverage and exclusive footage"of Reagan’s history-making memorial and funeral services."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Service, December 21, 2004

By	Gloria (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

I bought this DVD from the Reagan Library after watching the coverage of Reagan's funeral service this past summer. I was fascinated and moved by the protocol of a State Funeral and the love that protruded through the Reagan family and this nation for President Reagan. It is rare in our country that a State Funeral occurs and where the entire nation takes a moment to stop and notice. The DVD provides coverage of all services that occurred - (1) US Capitol Rotunda Service, (2) US Capitol Rotunda Depature, (3) National Cathedral Funeral Service, (4) Reagan Library Family Service, and (5) Reagan Library Final Sunset Service. The services were all presented without commentary and allowed me to experience the procession on my own. As a bonus, there is historical footage and photos of President Reagan. In short, this DVD provides a complete and dignified farewell to one of our nation's leaders that can be revisited and shared with future generations to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Honorable Tribute, March 3, 2006

By	J. T. Rhea "manrhea" (Bristol, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

An exceptionally well done and moving tribute to the greatest leader of the free world we have yet to encounter. This has it all, the full services in Washington to the sunset services at the Reagan Library in CA. A very impressive display of precision and symbolism by the military that is as inspirational as it is emotional. Video and sound is top notch, taking you up close and showing you things unseen by the various cable coverages. The bonus features and photo galleries stand on their own. Beautiful pieces of music throughout. Dutch would have been proud, I know I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Review of President Reagan, June 30, 2006

By	Dorothy L. Owre - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Reagan was quite a man and I enjoyed the DVD about him. It covered his Presidency beautifully. I find myself watching this recording many times. I just wish he was still around, but thanks to all the material available, I can continue to enjoy watching him. I hope more come out so I can contiue to watch them.
