Just a wild guess - but that might be Reagan at Normandy, where he gave his great “Boys of Pointe Du Hoc” speech:

“...These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.

Gentlemen, I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender’s poem. You are men who in your “lives fought for life...and left the vivid air signed with your honor….”

That was taken on 4 November 1983 at the memorial service at Camp Lejeune following the bombing of the BLT Headquarters at Beirut and the invasion of Grenada.
