Reagan on Heroism, National Security, and America

“'Always Faithful.' It's a motto. It's also a tradition -- a tradition as old as our blessed Republic and as young as the newest Marine.”

November 10, 1986

“'Always Faithful.' It's a motto. It's also a tradition -- a tradition as old as our blessed Republic and as young as the newest Marine. A tradition of which all Americans are proud. And so, to all who are first to fight for right and freedom, America today says thank you.”
