Ronald Regan: Ladies and Gentlemen
Today is a day for mourning and remembering
They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths
And they had that special grace
That special spirit that says
Give me a challenge, and I'll meet it with joy
The crew of the space shuttle challenger honored us in the matter in which
They lived their lives
We will never forget them as they prepared for their journey and waved
Goodbye and slipped the Surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God
