Reagan on Heroism, National Security, and America

“We owe all of them a special debt of gratitude for their part in advancing the promise of freedom.”

November 6, 1988

“Throughout our history, women have been among the patriots who have defended our land and liberty from every enemy. Many women have served in the military, in occupations from pilot to nurse and in both peacetime and war. We owe all of them a special debt of gratitude for their part in advancing the promise of freedom. We do well to recall that we owe appreciation to our many veterans of military service who are women.”
