Ronald Reagan: “What we've got to do now is make certain that we continue to give our young people... the support and backing they need…”

America's freedom does not belong to just one nation.

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.

Let us always take with us the spirit of vision, skill, and excellence.

Let us remember that the Soviet preponderance in military power in Europe remains, an asymmetry that offends our Jeffersonian senses.
