"I want more than anything Ive ever wanted, to have an administration that will, through its actions, at home and in the international arena, let millions of people know that Miss Liberty still 'Lifts her lamp beside the golden door.'
Through our international broadcasting stations -- the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the others -- let us send, loud and clear, the message that this generation of Americans intends to keep that lamp shining; that this dream, this last best hope of man on earth, this nation under God, shall not perish from the earth.
We will instead carry on the building of an American economy that once again holds forth real opportunity for all, we shall continue to be a symbol of freedom and guardian of the eternal values that so inspired those who came to this port of entry.
Let us pledge to each other, with this Great Lady looking on, that we can, and so help us God, we will make America great again.''Ronald Reagan

"...I want to leave with you a speech by a man not so well remembered in history, but those words, spoken on the eve of our struggle for independence, should uplift and inspire now as surely as they did in 1775.
Joseph Warren, a Boston doctor, left us these words before giving his life at Bunker Hill:
'Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of on you depend the fortunes of Americayou are to decide the important question, on which rests the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn.
Act worthy of yourselves.' ''Ronald Reagan
