Ronald Reagan: “The worst possible policy for El Salvador is to provide just enough aid to keep the war going, but too little to wage it…”

Tyranny fails. Freedom works.

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.

This is a great day.

I do hereby proclaim December 17, 1988, as Wright Brothers Day.
