Reagan on Defense policy, Heroism, and America

“Today, I want all those wearing American uniforms around the globe to know: America is grateful to you -- and proud of you, too.”

May 16, 1981

“Today millions of Americans are asking themselves that same question about the dedicated men and women who serve in our Armed Forces. Like me, they're asking that question with gratitude, with respect and affection in their hearts. Today, I want all those wearing American uniforms around the globe to know: America is grateful to you -- and proud of you, too.”
