An airport and an aircraft carrier have been named after him. The Reagan Legacy Project has dozens of similar projects in the hopper. Efforts to have post offices renamed, coins struck, and highways dedicated in his honor are underway. There's even talk of a memorial around the National Mall.
These are all fitting but somehow...insufficient. Only Rushmore suffices — and it is peculiarly appropriate to Ronald Reagan.
No single person has done more to spread democracy in the last 100 years than Ronald Reagan. No one has done more to build the infrastructure — political, economic and military — to speed the adoption of American ideals across the globe than the 40th president.
