Also awesome: Reagan's 40th anniversary D-Day speech in Normandy, June 6 1984.

Quote:
Behind me is a memorial which symbolizes the Ranger daggers that were thrust into the top of these cliffs, and before me are the men who put them there


IMO, Reagan was your greatest President ever!

Saw a TV show called four rooms today. Some chap was selling Winstons false teeth. Seems during WW11, the PM had them purposely made so as not to fit quite correctly, and so maintain his peculiar lisp. Also, the fella who made the actually teeth was excused the draft.

I found it quite interesting, wifey not so much.

Also, that Reagan speech was fantastic, just about to watch the Normandy one.

Pretty good cinematic moment ruined afterwards by an awkwardly placed rave party!

I don't know what rave party is. I sometimes go to the neighbor's barn dance. Finnish polka music, gets pretty wild..

Love this line, "we choose to go to the Moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard".
