As Seen Through and By the Eyes of the World

Seventy-eight years ago today...

If you have not yet read it (and I might ask for what it is you are waiting since it was published sixteen-plus years ago), then without reservation I recommend you read Douglas Brinkley's terrific book, "The Boys of Pointe du Hoc:  Ronald Reagan, D-Day, and the U.S. Army 2nd Ranger Battalion".   

After you have read Brinkley's book, then you might want to watch President Reagan deliver his speech, which all these years later still strikes me as pitch-perfect.
