Ronald Reagan actually said...

"There's no greater gift that you can give to your family, your community, or your country than the protection that you afford all of them by this job that you're doing."

"If our men are fired on, our men are going to shoot back."

"We are proud of all of you, and while there may be some people who think that the uniform is associated with violence, you are the peacemakers."

"Yes, I want to help, here and every place that I can."
