On June 6, 1984, President Ronald Reagan went to the Normandy coast of France to honor the 40th anniversary of the invasion that took place there.
He paid tribute to “the boys of Pointe du Hoc,” the U.S. Army Rangers who scaled the cliffs overlooking Omaha Beach on that horrifying day.
They had sailed across the English Channel to free Europe from tyranny.
Thirty-two years after that memorial commemoration, President Reagan’s speech is worth watching yet again.
I won’t try to glorify it here.
These men saved the world. God bless them all.
