The (many) more than a 100,000 dead American soldiers, and the billions of dollars of American money, and the sometimes almost single handed fighting of a war for 50-75 years by this great nation, and the leadership of President Reagan. deserves the bulk of the credit for winning the war that we fought and died in.
While that is true, cannot count out Blessed John Paul II and Margaret “Iron Lady” Thatcher for doing their part also to make this a special team for a special time.
