Physical DescriptionA cross stitch needlework of a quotation from President Ronald Reagan’s victory speech “I am not frightened of what lies ahead, together we are going to do what has to be done. We're going to put America back to work again. You know, I aim to try to tap that great American spirit that opened up this completely undeveloped continent from coast to coast and made it a great nation, survived several wars, survived the great depression, and we'll survive the problems we face right now.-Ronald Reagan." The quote is surrounded with a red, white and blue border and made by Mrs. Dale C. Dilling in a barn board frame crafted by Richard B. Fluke and Mr. Dilling.Additional Details
