Reagan on America

“St. Patrick's faith and idealism kindled a fire that burns even today in the minds of Irish men and women.”

March 16, 1983

“St. Patrick's faith and idealism kindled a fire that burns even today in the minds of Irish men and women. It is a flame of faith that, joined with the Irish love of liberty and laughter, song and scholarship, has left an unforgettable mark on Ireland, America, and the world.”
