DS, signed as president, one page, 10 x 15, June 6, 2004. A rare blue line proclamation with a stunning embossed gold Presidential seal announcing the death of President Ronald Reagan. The document bears a printed signature at the bottom, and is signed in the lower right corner in black felt tip. In part, the proclamation reads, "It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Ronald Reagan…we are blessed to live in a Nation, and a world, that have been shaped by the will, the leadership, and the vision of Ronald Reagan…President Reagan has left us, but he has left us stronger and better. We take comfort in the knowledge that he has left us for a better place.” Bush goes on to direct that flags be lowered to half staff for thirty days and that June 11, 2004, will be a national day of mourning. In very fine condition. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
