Ronald Reagan's words he spoke in 1981 are still valid this Memorial Day 37 years later - perhaps even more so.
"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans DO have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors."
~Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, 1981
President Ronald Reagan gave many excellent speeches, but reminding Americans about the sacrifices that Americans paid in order for our freedoms to continue is definitely one of his best:
Remember those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we are able to honor them today.
