Rev. Daniel P. Coughlin leads the President and guests in prayer at the beginning of the Gold Medal ceremony. "President Reagan believed deeply in American character and destiny," said President Bush. "He believed deeply in the power of freedom to improve the lives of average men and women. These ideas changed America, and they changed the world. Not only because he eloquently explained them, because they are right and they are true." White House photo by Tina Hager.
