Thanks for posting. This was one President who understood the task at hand.

Considering that Mr. Obama just stopped by today after giving aid and comfort to the terrorists in the middle east he should be ashamed to stand on this sacred ground.

God Bless America. Thanks to all who served!

Ronald Reagan lived through those times. But it is notable that there isn’t a word about himself in that wonderful speech.

Contrast that with the incessant narcissism of those that somehow pass for leaders today.

Thank you for posting this wonderful reminder.

may we never forget

I enjoyed listening to Mr Reagan and watching the video, I learned much in 10 short minutes.

Truth be told, I am a novice in the history dept yet the facts of WWII can't help but strike a cord in ones heart.

Fours words stood out to me in Mr Reagan's speech, which were: faith, belief, loyalty and love. Four powerful words when in the throes of tyranny.

God bless the soldiers and their families and, God bless Ronald Reagan.
