“The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price. … It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.

- Ronald Reagan, whose 101st birthday is today.

The video begins in front of Saint Famille Church, a site from the genocide where thousands sought refuge, but were betrayed by a priest and ultimately murdered.
