As a little child during this event below, I can especially remember Ronald Reagan. And now in reflecting, a picture speaks a thousand words in these close-ups.
(see larger image below)...
The theme was, 'National Renewal', as our country inaugurated its 40th president of the United States, and marked the end to a very lengthy and wearing hostage crisis. This appears especially evident in the face of former President Carter. View larger image.
A significant part of history, indeed..

"Not a single President has yet to match Reagan's skills, as motivator. Along with his physical self-confidence (and unsurpassed stage presence) his values and love for country embraced the young and old, as it took precedence over right and left points of view." M.B.
