Thanks so much for providing the speech in a link. I read it in the book, and I hoped that it was available on line in video form, and there is was this morning.

I didn't understand the impact FDR made on Reagan and how he studied him and so admired his determination in spreading democracy. And how he and Peggy Noonan, separately, studied his speaking style and delivery. Imo, one of the more important lines of the speech, which was referring to the fact that the Soviet Union was in Europe still (un-welcomed and uninvited) fourty years after D-Day was that "we cannot be rushing to respond when freedom is lost." In other words, we must be prepared militarily at all times.

That line must have struck GW as something true and profound also.

BTW Did you notice the reference to Bill Millan, the bagpiper for the 51st Highlanders?

You don't suppose.........

Nah!
