Reagan on America, Democracy, and Heroism

“Ours is the land of the free because it is the home of the brave.”

November 2, 1984

“We Americans have fought harder, paid a higher price, done more to advance the freedom and dignity of man than any other people who ever lived on this Earth. Ours is the land of the free because it is the home of the brave. America's future will be great because our nation will be strong. And our nation will be strong because our people will be free. And we're free because we're united. We're united -- one people, under God, with liberty and justice for all.”
