Reagan on Free Enterprise, America, and Heroism

“We must draw anew on the individual strength, ingenuity, and vision that built America.”

March 29, 1982

“In the words of Thomas Paine: These are times that try men's souls. We need more than summer soldiers and sunshine patriots. If we believe in principles of free enterprise that made our country great, we must stand up for them again, today. We must draw anew on the individual strength, ingenuity, and vision that built America.”
