ROMNEY DECLARES JUNE 11th DAY OF HONOR FOR PRESIDENT REAGAN
State executive branch departments and agencies will be closed on Friday after Governor Mitt Romney today declared June 11, 2004 a state holiday in honor of former President Ronald Reagan, who died Saturday at his Los Angeles home.
Romney’s Executive Order follows President George Bush’s designation of Friday, June 11 as a national day of mourning in which U.S. stock markets and federal offices will be closed.
“It is appropriate and fitting to set aside a day to honor the memory of Ronald Reagan, who inspired the nation with his optimism and belief in the greatness of the American people,” said Romney. “He led the nation with vision, courage and humor and defended freedom and democracy around the world.”
