    “We will always remember. We will always be proud. July We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.” August President Ronald Reagan September June 6, 1984 - Normandy, France 2004 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN Long Beach, California...December 28, 1982 President Ronald Reagan at the 4th Recommissioning of USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) “...Well, the New Jersey today becomes our 514th ship and represents our determination to rebuild the strength of America's right arm so that we can preserve the peace. After valiant service in Vietnam and after saving the lives of countless Ma- rines, the New Jersey was decommissioned in 1969. During that solemn ceremony, her last commanding officer, Captain Robert Peniston, spoke prophetically when he suggested that this mighty ship, “Rest well, yet sleep lightly; and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide fire power for freedom.” Well, the call has been sounded. America needs the bat- tleship once again to provide firepower for the defense of freedom and, above all, to maintain the peace. She will truly fulfill her mission if her firepower never has to be used. Captain Fogarty, I hereby place the United States Ship New Jersey in commission. God bless, and Godspeed.” In Memory of President Ronald Wilson Reagan Commander In Chief THE JERSEYMAN n May 29, 2004, formal dedication of the WW2 National Memorial took place in Washington, DC. The event was simulcast to the Battleship New Jersey Memorial and Mu- seum, with an audience estimated at well over 1,100 WW2 Veterans and their guests, plus 800 guests that were general public attendees.
