“…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” – Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, 19 November, 1863
In an era when it’s (seemingly) increasingly unfashionable to remember and admire our Nation’s history, we’d you urge to take a break from the five B’s today (burgers, brats, beer , blue wings, and the beach), stop, and remember those who have gone before and paved the road for our ease and freedoms with their lives.
