Reagan on Heroism, and America

“Each time our nation has called upon our citizens to serve, the best have come forward.”

November 5, 1983

“Each time our nation has called upon our citizens to serve, the best have come forward. Words cannot express our gratitude and admiration. But we can and should take the opportunity on this Veterans Day to remember their gift to us. When you see one of our young men and women in uniform on the street or someplace, how about a smiling 'hello' and, maybe, a 'thank you'.”
