Ronald Reagan: “Victory will belong to you—the people.”

We must remain strong and free of illusion.

Well, that wasn't a proposal. That was a decision that has been made.

If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.

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.
