Ronald Reagan actually said...

"It is with profound regret that I accept your resignation as Director of Central Intelligence."

"You saw firsthand what pride and morale mean to those on the front lines of freedom."

"Your commitment and your achievements will continue in the institutions of government which you led so well and in the cause of liberty you so proudly served."

"Qualifying active-duty service during this period also includes service conducted in the air space above Grenada."
