I read this today and thought how beautiful it was...I am not a republican...I do not agree with all the Reagan era...but I am pre-peace and honor...and this was so right and touched so many...Sail on to our Soldiers and Sail on Mr. President...and a HUGE thank you to the men and women fighting for us anywhere in the World...
(Yeah, yeah, I know...someone wrote it for him but it's beautiful nonetheless!)
"It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives -- the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember." - Ronald Reagan, Veteran's Day 1985
