The Shining City Atop a Hill

"I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still."
---Ronald Reagan


I have always found this quote to be extremely beautiful. It has great meaning for our nation and for me as an individual. I hope that this blog shines a little for my readers.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction"--Ronald Reagan
