President Barack Obama honored Ronald Reagan today by creating a Centennial Commission in his name to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2011.

Obama created the commission with the stroke of a pen with Nancy Reagan by his side. The 11-person panel will plan and carry out activities for the anniversary such as issuing a postage stamp, a commemorative $1 coin or convening a joint session of Congress.

Nancy opened up about her beloved husband, who lost his battle to Alzheimer’s Disease in 2004, in a recent interview and talked about how she has visions of him.

“At night time, if I wake up, I think Ronnie is there, and I start to talk to him… And I see him.,” Nancy told Vanity Fair.

She continues about how the pain of her loss never gets easier.

“I miss Ronnie a lot, an awful lot,” Nancy said. “People say it gets better. No, it does not.”

Nancy sure isn’t the only one who misses him a lot!
