Ronald Reagan actually said...

"We owe the crew of the U.S.S. Stark and their brave families such a deep debt of gratitude."

"So, it's a simple truth we reaffirm here today: Young Americans of the U.S.S. Stark gave up their lives so that the terrible moments of the past would not be repeated."

"Independence National Historical Park ... serves as the focal point for the National Park Service's celebration of the Constitution's Bicentennial."

"Greater love than this has no man than to lay down his life for his friends."
