The five- by nine-foot flag was hoisted and flown on the USS RONALD REAGAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER CVN 76 while in port at North Island Coronado, California. A bronze bust of Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan sculptured by Ed Vasquez was presented on April 4, 2005 to Commanding officer Captain James Symonds. The Captain stated: “It’s not every day that an artist comes forward to share his work with the men and women aboard this ship…” The artwork is displayed in the newly renovated Western Motif in the Chief Petty Officer’s Mess Hall. Also presented was a large canvas photograph of Ronald Reagan’s retreat Ranch, “Rancho Del Cielo,” near Santa Barbara, California. In honor of the occasion, Ed’s personal flag was hoisted aboard the Nuclear Aircraft Carrier for remembrance.” A Piece of History The Mexican-style spur pictured at right dates back to some time between 1833 and 1875. The spur includes a 5”, 8-point rowel, a heel chain that is c. 19 cm in length, and both heel buttons c. 13.8mm x 12.8mm. It is probably related to ranching activities carried out by Paniolo herding cattle in the area.

The Order is dedicated to: insuring that America will always be preeminent in air and space—the encourage- ment of flight safety—fostering an esprit de corps in the military air forces—promoting the adoption of military service as a career—and aiding deserving young individuals in specialized higher education through the establishment of scholarships. THE DAEDALIAN FOUNDATION was incorporated in 1959 as a non-profit organization to carry on activities in furtherance of the ideals and purposes of the Order. The Foundation publishes the Daedalus Flyer and sponsors the Daedalian Scholarship Program. The Foundation is a GuideStar Exchange member.
