Reagan on America

“And what I was going to say on that Sunday night was -- those other generations I've just mentioned, my own included, we have a sacred obligation to turn over to you when it is your time to take over -- to turn over to you an America that is free in a world that is at peace.”

October 29, 1984

“I must tell you, speaking directly to you young people -- my generation and a few other generations between mine and yours -- we came into an America, we grew up in a land where we took it for granted that we could dream and make our dreams come true, and there was no limit to how high and far we could fly on the basis of our own ability and determination to do so. And what I was going to say on that Sunday night was -- those other generations I've just mentioned, my own included, we have a sacred obligation to turn over to you when it is your time to take over -- to turn over to you an America that is free in a world that is at peace.”
