There were two events that 5 US presidents attended at the same time. The first one is the opening of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on November 4, 1991. This was also the first time in history that there were 5 presidents together at an event. The presidents were: Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and the senior Bush. The second time was at the funeral of Richard Nixon on April 27, 1994. The presidents there were: Ford, Carter, Reagan, the senior Bush, and Clinton.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan fired over 10,000 federal employees primarily due to a strike by air traffic controllers, who were members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO). The workers had demanded better working conditions and higher pay, but Reagan deemed the strike illegal. His administration's decisive action underscored a tough stance against labor unions and marked a significant shift in labor relations in the federal government. This event also set the tone for Reagan's policies on deregulation and workforce management throughout his presidency.
President Ronald Reagan fired 11,359 striking air-traffic controllers on August 5th, 1981. On August 5, 1923, Henry Sullivan was the first American to swim across the English Channel.
In his 40th anniversary speech commemorating D-Day, Ronald Reagan emphasized the bravery and sacrifice of the Allied forces who landed on the beaches of Normandy during World War II. He highlighted the significance of their actions in the fight for freedom and democracy, framing the event as a pivotal moment in history that showcased the resilience of the human spirit. Reagan also reflected on the enduring legacy of those who fought, urging future generations to remember and honor their courage and commitment to liberty.
Reagan actually was shot, by John Hinckley Jr., but he survived the attack and lived to a ripe old age, eventually dying of natural causes (Alzheimer's disease). So he was not assassinated although assassination was attempted.
It represents the approximate number associated with some ongoing event - whatever the event may be.
