"Once each May, amid the quiet hills and rolling lanes and breeze-brushed trees of Arlington National Cemetery, far above the majestic Potomac and the monuments and memorials of our Nation's Capital just beyond, the graves of America's military dead are decorated with the beautiful flag that in life these brave souls followed and loved. This scene is repeated across our land and around the world, wherever our defenders rest. Let us hold it our sacred duty and our inestimable privilege on this day to decorate these graves ourselves -- with a fervent prayer and a pledge of true allegiance to the cause of liberty, peace, and country for which America's own have ever served and sacrificed. ... Our pledge and our prayer this day are those of free men and free women who know that all we hold dear must constantly be built up, fostered, revered and guarded vigilantly from those in every age who seek its destruction. We know, as have our Nation's defenders down through the years, that there can never be peace without its essential elements of liberty, justice and independence. Those true and only building blocks of peace were the lone and lasting cause and hope and prayer that lighted the way of those whom we honor and remember this Memorial Day. To keep faith with our hallowed dead, let us be sure, and very sure, today and every day of our lives, that we keep their cause, their hope, their prayer, forever our country's own."
--Ronald Reagan

Never made good on half his promises. Totally overrated but these days people hail him as a paragon of conservatism and greatness, pretty lame.

You mean we would be speaking russian? I was merely stating that under reagan the market almost tripled. We went from economic disaster to economic prosperity. People seem to forget the state we were in in 1980. The soviet union was a real threat the possibility of WW3 was an actual fear for us. Our economy was in the crapper too and we were considered weak.
Dont worry your memory will be jogged soon enough. Tan Jimmy Carter will remind us.

I disagree. Reagan wouldn't have had to invade Iraq, He would have finished them off in 1990. ;D
