“We will always remember.

We will always be proud.

We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.”

D-Day Commemoration in Normandy, France, June 6, 1984

-Excerpt from Ronald Reagan’s speech

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,

or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children

what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, March 30, 1961

-excerpt from Ronald Reagan’s speech

Democracy took a hard blow this day in Peking as the People’s Army of China opened fire on crowds of demonstrators.

What began as a student demonstration on behalf of democracy a month and a half earlier, had become a demonstration of hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life defying the government ban on the students’ action. Armored tanks of the People’s Army literally rolled over demonstrators as the world watched in horror as the tragedy unfolded on live TV. The government issued statements claiming that only a few had died. Other estimates of the deaths in Tiananmen Square ranged from hundreds to several thousand. There is no contradiction of the fact that thousands of demonstrators were later jailed.

Get out of Debt!

“When I get to heaven, I shall see three wonders there. The first wonder will be to see people there that I did not expect; the second wonder will be to miss many persons whom I did expect to see; and the third and greatest wonder of all will be to find myself there.”
