“There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world... for the rest of us. We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lost that war, and in doing so lost this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening... If we lost freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.” — Ronald Reagan
