Produced by Tom Edmonds with the full cooperation of President Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, this video reveals the true All-American story! The story that will make you laugh, that will make you cry, that will make proud Americans long for the days of Ronald Reagan.
Mr. Edmonds conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with key members of President Reagan’s staff, offering rare insight and analysis not available anywhere else.
The film highlights the 1980s, from the 40th anniversary of D-Day when President Reagan stood “on a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France” and recounted the bravery of “The Boys of Pointe du Hoc” to his masterful speech at the Berlin Wall when he flatly said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” From boyhood, to the Whitehouse, and beyond, watch one the most patriotic stories of the 20th century at home today!
And There's More!
From the video library of Mr. Tom Edmonds, watch exclusive footage from Ronald Reagan's time in office and beyond!
“ A Time for Choosing ”
Due to its historical significance, much has been written about A Time for Choosing, Ronald Reagan’s televised appeal on behalf of Barry Goldwater’s bid for the Presidency. The speech was first televised on Tuesday, October 27, 1964. However, Reagan’s speech was delivered many times in slightly modified forms prior to the network broadcast. Many cite ”The Speech” as the starting point of the ”Reagan Revolution.“ It certainly launched one of the most successful political careers in recent history and helped Ronald Reagan secure his place as icon of American Politics.
Reagan’s Last Public Address
September 1994
At the 50th anniversary celebration of Human Events, the national conservative weekly newspaper President Reagan faithfully read, Jack Kemp introduced a time-capsule tribute. He then played a videotaped address by the former president to the audience gathered in Washington, D.C. Unknown to anyone that evening was the fact that this would be the last public address Ronald Reagan would ever make.
“When Character Counted”
February 1999
On February 4 and 5, 1999 the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Center for Public Affairs sponsored a two-day symposium at the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California. The theme of the event was “Eight Years that Changed the World: The Reagan Legacy in the New Century.” The keynote speaker was William F. Buckley Jr. His remarks were published in the March 8, 1999, issue of National Review.
