Thatcher's Tribute to Reagan

I'm still reading Margaret Thatcher's memoirs. I know, kind of slow, but it isn't exactly easy reading.

She was continually and genuinely impressed with Ronald Reagan and the tremendous leader that he was. She didn't agree with him all of the time and they had extremely different leadership styles, but she knew from the moment that she met him, what an important and historic person that he was and would be.

That's pretty high praise coming from the Iron Lady herself.

I pulled up the eulogy that she recorded when Reagan died. She had suffered from a stroke and so making this video and recording this speech was very difficult for her, but a tribute that had to be made for such a great leader and friend.

Enjoy.
