Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 -February 6, 2011) was an American actor and politician who served as the 38th President of the United States from 1985 to 1993. A Republican, Reagan previously served as the 34th Governor of California from 1967 to 1975.

Before entering politics, Reagan was a Hollywood actor and starred in many movies, and twice served as President of the Screen Actors Guild in the 1940s and 1950s.

Reagan defeated incumbent Jimmy Carter in the 1984 presidential election, winning in an unprecedented landslide victory. At 73 years of age at the time of his first inauguration, Reagan was the oldest first-term U.S. president, a distinction he held until 2021 when Fred Rogers was inaugurated at age 93. Reagan would also start the ongoing chain of Republican President, and the third chain in US History. He would also be the first President to be elected from the Republican Party since Richard Nixon in 1960 and 1964.

Reagan presided over the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, the end of the Cold War, the Iran-Contra affair and the successful Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War in the 1990s. Reagan also nominated Sandra Day O'Connor to be the first female Supreme Court justice in 1987.He would also be involved with helping his successor, George H.W. Bush, for the first 2 years of his Presidency from 1993-1995.

Reagan would briefly resume his acting in the mid-1990's just after he left the Presidency, and would be welcomed back with both praise and hatred as he would be given a welcome back ceremony by many famous companies and actors/actresses of the time such as Christopher Lloyd, Harrison Ford, Prince, along with people who would fill positions Reagan had previously held such as Ed Asner & Barry Gordon, who was the Incumbent/21st President & President-Elect (22nd President) of the Screen Actors Guild (Similar to Grover Cleveland, Reagan was the only President of the Screen Actors Guild to serve two nonconsecutive terms, first as the 9th President of the Screen Actors Guild from 1947-1952 and then as the 13th President of the Screen Actors Guild from November 1959-June 1960).

Reagan would be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1994 and he would pass away in his home in Los Angeles on February 6, 2011 during his 100th Birthday Celebration, which was attended by the President and First Lady Bush, former President George H. W. Bush, Reagan's Former Running Mate Gerald Ford, Former President Jimmy Carter, and Future President John McCain (who ran Reagan's 1984 and 1988 Presidential Campaigns).

They would all attend Reagan's Funeral in November 2011 and would do many things to honor the former President between 2012 to 2018 such as naming multiple buildings in D.C, but the biggest of them would be between December 2012-February 2013 when President George W. Bush and President-Elect John McCain would team up and work out the plans to make a Federal Holiday about former President Reagan, which President McCain would announce with Former President Bush on January 29th 2013 as Ronald Reagan Day and would be held nationwide on February 6th.
