Then we will hear Margaret Thatcher herself talk about President Reagan in her recorded eulogy for the former President.
Then we will tune in as President George H. W. Bush honors Thatcher after she resigned as Prime Minister giving her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, plus we will hear her remarks from that event.
This is the second episode in our tribute to one of the greatest leaders Great Britain has ever produced and the woman Ronald Reagan considered his full partner in the 1980s as they changed the world together.
