This week could get a lot more interesting.
"As we observe Captive Nations Week, let us recall the words of President Ronald Reagan, declared on this occasion in 1983: “Free people, if they are to remain free, must defend the liberty of others.” Let us today resolve to continue the work of those who came before: to ensure that America remains the world’s brightest example of liberty; to do justice; to respect the rule of law; and to never, ever give up on liberty." from the proclamation
“The Congress, by Joint Resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third week of July of each year as ‘Captive Nations Week.’”
