Ronald Reagan's final speech as President, sometimes known as the "Shining City Upon A Hill" speech.
But the speech was so much more. Incredible foresight on the eradication of the American memory (at 2:50), coming true before our very eyes.

Hope you enjoy our Independence Day, Patriot Prof!
ReplyDeleteIf only we could clone Reagan.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July! Thanks for the video; I am young enough to say that I probably saw that speech, but I don't remember it - I was too busy trying to work hard and get ahead. I thank all who were - and are! - part of the "Reagan Revolution!!" You have paved a way for us, the "new patriots," to know where we need to go, and how to get there! Thanks to all those who served, and serve; thanks to you, Professor, for this great post!!!
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admit that I hated Ronald Reagan when he was President.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admint that I cheered when he was shot.
I was young, idealistic, foolish.
May his soul Rest in Peace now with the knowledge that he inspired - and still inspires - those that yearn for freedom (even if we understood it late).
