Thanks for posting. Great speech, well-delivered. Remember when we had a President who you could send to represent us in a foreign country, and you’d be proud of him?

Normandy Speech: President Reagan’s Address Commemorating 40th Anniversary of Normandy/D-Day

I was in Switzerland listening to that speech, oh to go back in time. I was 27 and would not mind a do-over.
I remember as a young man getting up early on the morning of June 6, 1984, and watching the Gipper’s speech from Point du Hoc. God, how we need that kind of leadership today in America.
Captain Reagan spent a total of about 9 years in uniform, his first 5 years was in the 1930s Horse Cavalry as a Lieutenant in the Reserves which I imagine was a pretty physical unit of horses and 1930s outdoor activity and camping when they were training. Cavalry was a real thing back then.
Peggy Noonan wrote the speech and it was her best effort, never to be equaled
WWII-let us honor the people that gave their lives fighting the very sort of evil that the modern democrats have become...
Thanks for sharing this.
I watch it every June 6.
One of the best speeches ever. Thanks.
We always knew that he couldn’t do everything but as children we never felt afraid when my Dad was around. I felt the same for the nation when Reagan was around. He led by example and from the front. No matter whatever else he did he gave us hope and confidence. Reagan had that just right swagger and humility and concern without being the least bit weak. The day he greeted Gorbachev in Geneva was one of the very best. He had it all planned and he executed it flawlessly.
