On the recordJune 8, 1995
I was reminded, as I watched those brave men all too often falling on the shores of some remote beach, that this is a great Nation and in one very, very special regard, it is the greatest Nation in the history of the world. Because in America, in the history of the world, no nation has ever so much loved freedom that their nation's people have been willing to risk their own peace to secure freedom for other nations. We have all too many times seen our Nation's children on the field of battle, fighting for freedom and dreaming about peace. When we think of those terribly horrible, frightful times when men and women were willing to put their life and their limb on the line for the double dream of freedom and peace, we then should reflect upon the times when we can put some part of our national treasure on the line for freedom and peace.
