After all, "We, are Americans" President Ronald Reagan
Or perhaps you don't agree that it's "better red than dead" and you do believe we "have a rendezvous with destiny" and wish to "preserve for our children this the last best hope of man on earth" rather than "sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness", after all, it "spells duty"? (all quotations are from President Reagan's speech found following this next colon):

We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in France.
We shall fight on the seas and oceans.
We shall fight with brave confidence and
great strenght in the air.
We shall defend our island whatever the
cost may be.
We shall on the beaches.
We shall fight on the landing grounds.
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills.
We shall never surrender!!!
From Winston Churchill
Patton's Opening speech to the troops - George C. Scott - Video Dailymotion
Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest...
Henry V - Speech - Eve of Saint Crispin's Day - HD
Kenneth Branagh's masterpiece film of the Shakespeare classic play. Done in High Definition. Blows away the Braveheart battle speech.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day."
By the way, the quotation "Men sleep peacefully..." is commonly misattributed to George Orwell and/or Winston Churchill without citation. The earliest known appearance is in a 1993 Washington Times essay by Richard Grenier, as follows: "As George Orwell pointed out, people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." The absence of quotation marks indicates that Grenier was using his own words to convey his interpretation of Orwell's opinion in other works.
