Quoting...
"Freedom is the very essence of our nation. To be sure, ours is not a perfect nation. But even with our troubles, we remain the beacon of hope for oppressed peoples everywhere. Never give up the fight for freedom- a fight which, though it may never end, is the most ennobling known to man."
— Ronald Reagan
