At commemoration ceremonies for the 40th anniversary of the D-Day landings, President Reagan focused his speech on the heroes (1) of the 2nd Ranger Battalion who scaled the sheer cliffs of Pointe du Hoc to take out German artillery that threatened the landings at Omaha and Utah beaches.
It was arguably one of Reagan’s finest speeches, one well-worth watching again this Memorial Day:
Footnote:
(1) Yes, Chris Hayes, “heroes.” Try using a dictionary, since you evidently don’t know the meaning of the word. More at Twitchy.

Magnificent and not one I, me or my from start to finish.
Nothing inspires me more than to listen to President Ronald Reagan. He is truly one of the greatest US Presidents. Nothing displeases me more to see or listen to the most despised President of the US, Barak Hussein Obama.
Thank you for posting – I was thinking of earlier today as one of Reagan’s finest moments and such a fitting tribute.
We were so fortunate to go from Carter, Mr. Malaise Sweater to such an inspirational All American Mr. Gipper, Ronaldus Magnus! May God Bless America, Again!
God, how I miss that man.
RONALDUS MAXIMUS rocks! Thanks (Phineas) for the link. It proves (once again) that things of quality have NO fear of time!
