A Great Speech- Freedom

On the weekend where congress will vote to support or not
support our troops, I ask you people that are against the war
on terrorism to listen or read (your choice)
to the speech by Ronald Regan.

40th Anniversary of D-Day (Pointe du Hoc)
Remarks at the U.S. Ranger Monument Pointe du Hoc,
France June 6, 1984

One phrase you have to fully understand . It meant so much
63 years ago. It is what we stand for today . Freedom, freedom
men and women die for , so we can have the freedom we have.

Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here.
You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were
hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you.
Yet, you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it?
What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation
and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men
of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we
know the answer. It was faith and belief; it was loyalty and love.

Link to speech From the Regan Library,
and audio version. It's worth listening to!!!!!!

We are here for freedom and we should never forget what it takes
to be FREE!
