With all my copying and pasting, I forgot the second “a” in Reagan’s name, and what he said in the inaugural:
“On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, ‘Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of.... On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.’”

The man was at the center of every significant event for the few years leading up to June 17th, more so than any other.

I don't know if he would have ended up being as venerated as George Washington had he not taken his time evacuating the redoubt and been killed, but it would've been close.
