Ronald Reagan: Letter to the American People about Alzheimer’s Disease

As a prominent figure in national politics, Ronald Reagan became known as the “Great Communicator,” articulating his concerns and convictions in various addresses spanning three decades. In 1994, almost six years after leaving the presidency, Reagan retired from public life in a simple and moving Letter to the American People about Alzheimer’s Disease, reminding the American people one last time that their country’s best days were still ahead.
