Former First Lady, Nancy Reagan, has announced her endorsement of Move America Forward’s “Candy Diplomacy” program that will bring 100,000 bags of American goodwill to the children of Iraq & Afghanistan.
In a statement being released today, Nancy Reagan said that her husband:
“…would often break the ice in meetings by passing around his jar of Jelly Bellys. It had a way of putting a smile on everyone’s face and putting them in the mood to work cooperatively. I know the Iraqi and Afghani people will feel the warmth and goodness of the American people when they get to try these treats.”
Nancy Reagan believes that President Reagan would have loved this program.
