In this week's Throwback Thursday with President Reagan, we explore his belief that lasting peace takes both strength and the courage to build a safer world.
President Ronald Reagan believed that true peace required more than good intentions. It called for real strength and the bravery to imagine a world less threatened by nuclear weapons. Guided by his philosophy of "peace through strength," he worked tirelessly to reduce nuclear arsenals and end the dangerous arms race that shaped much of the Cold War.
His commitment to arms control and disarmament helped open the door to historic agreements. Those agreements made the world safer and proved that principled leadership can advance the cause of peace.
As we reflect on his words, let's carry forward the same courage and conviction President Reagan brought to the pursuit of peace.
