That speech by Reagan was truly inspired and is worth reading each year in early June.
Last part: “these were the boys of Pont du Hoc” always makes me a little misty. General Rudder gave me my diploma from Texas A&M back in 1962. He was always on campus and very accessible and friendly but had his standards. I can imagine his reaction to today’s political correctness and progressive ideology that pervades higher education and the weak leadership that permits it. He was a great leader of the type that regrettably no longer exists. It is sad to see how far we have fallen.
You are so right. Gives me goosebumps just reading the two sentences here. Lordy, I miss Reagan.
