"Once you begin a great movement, there's no telling where it will end.
We meant to change a nation, and instead we changed the world."
-- Ronald Reagan
Reading the words of President Reagan's Farewell Address
to the Nation on January 11, 1989, brought back all the good
one had for the country and its People.
It seemed, no other time in our history would there be
such a sense of cohesion, sense of destiny,
sense of preordained greatness in truth and human spirit,
than was encapsulated in the mere phrase
"Tear down this wall, Mr. Gorbachev."
One has to marvel at the audacity of such a command
leveled at a Russian leader.
Marveling still, at the warmth and sincerity of a man
could fundamentally put an end to the Cold War.
Such a man was he, President Reagan.
It behooves our Betters to take note
the People have not forgotten what a good man can accomplish:
end the Cold War, triumph over communism,
restore pride in America, here at home,
throughout the world.
We meant to change a nation, and instead we changed the world."
