Ronald Reagan's 1985 Inauguration Speech

President Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration, in 1985, was held indoors because of bitterly cold temperatures, and the inauguration parade was canceled. He delivered his speech in the Rotunda of the Capitol. “We have lighted the world with our inventions, gone to the aid of mankind wherever in the world there was a cry for help, journeyed to the moon and safely returned,” he said. “So much has changed. And yet we stand together as we did two centuries ago.”
