On Wednesday, Fagan's bronze 7-foot statue of the nation's 40th president will be unveiled at the U.S. Capitol, replacing the likeness of a lesser-known California figure, Thomas Starr King. Nancy Reagan is expected to attend the ceremony, along with Fagan.

This may be an event for Nancy Reagan, but I see it as a "non-event".

Sorry, not a Reagan fan. Here's hoping the pidgeons will enjoy the statue.
It will be inside.

Westminster allows tribute at US embassy so Baroness Thatcher and Nancy Reagan are well enough to unveil it

Nancy Reagan wiped tears away as a statue of former President Reagan was installed in the Capitol Building on Wednesday. Among the Congressional lawmakers joining the first lady were Representative John A. Boehner, House Republican leader from Ohio; Senator Harry Reid, Senate majority leader from Nevada; Senator Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican leader from Kentucky.

Not a fan of RR at all- to many of his mistakes are still hurting this country and it's people.

But I think the statue is one of the best I have seen. Kuddo's tot he artist.
