Ronald Reagan: “We've backed our words with decisive and dramatic action.”

The strength of our nation has never been with the Washington colony but with the American people.

I don't say that we're not prepared.

Each of us can give young people the good example of reading ourselves.

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.
