Ronnie, I think a lot of American warriors were reassured by the outpouring of appreciation toward Ronald Reagan last week. The press spends so much time denigrating the sacrifices you've made, and arguing that it was done for the wrong reasons. If that's all the troops and veterans ever saw, they'd be very confused about how their fellow citizens feel about their service.
The fact is from one side of the world to the other, and I'm not as quick to judge one area before another as some are, you have fought for what you believed was right. You've fought for western civilization. You've fought for religious, political, and intellectual freedom. You've fought for peace and security for our families as well as our allies. You've even fought for Ted Koppel to sit in his $2,000 suit and tell us how wrong we are.
Americans realize that the press has gotten too full of itself!
The love America is showing for Ronald Reagan is part of the same spirit most of us feel about the military and the duty, honor and service to country each of you has given. Thank you all. I know President Reagan would have wanted us to say that.
President Reagan lived long enough to lead us through some interesting times. Now it's your generation's turn, Ronnie. Americans are listening to you and a lot of other vets. We need you vets who are willing to stand up and speak your minds now more than ever! Take care, and keep it up. It'll be for the Gipper, who would have wanted it for America.
