President Reagan was known as the "Great Communicator," so it's no surprise that his speeches are somewhat easy to read and have a nice flow. (He also had an excellent speechwriter.)
There are lots of references to specific events and people in this speech that may or may not be easily recognizable, but don't worry. We're here to break it all down. (Even totally weird terms like "Berliner Schnauze.")
