I have been thinking about President Reagan’s appearance and speech at Normandy all this week and am so glad you posted it here. Thank you.

Gawd, was that 25 years ago?

It still gives me chills.

President Reagan actually cage two speeches at Normandy twenty five years ago. This one (usually referred to as the "Boys of Pointe du Hoc" speech) is generally considered the better of the two.

Here is a link to the other one:

I always thought the Reagan speech at Normandy was his best.
