Go to post # 16 and compare what you just heard to Reagan’s speech in 1984 at Normandy.

Seeing these old soldiers receiving the Legion of Honor is about to make me shed tears...again.

Maybe I missed something but all 0bama talked about was some truly brave souls - separate individuals - who had to face gunfire and death. He completely ignored the motivation for the entire campaign that made the war worth the sacrifice.

Did zer0 refer at *all* to the larger reason we fought that war and risked and lost so many lives in the first place - the defense of Democracy?

There is much more to Reagan’s 1984 speech. I watched it last night and realized how much I miss him, and how much I miss his love of America and freedom.

I had to remind myself that Reagn gave this speech while he was in the midst of fighting the Cold War against the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe was still occupied by Soviet troops, and traitors like Ted Kennedy, Patrick Leahy, Joe Biden,Tip O’Neill fighting him every step of the way.
