A fitting message for us today

"But in a larger sense we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow this ground. The brave men,(*and women) living and dead, who struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.

It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN


May we remember, honor and not desecrate the work of all who have and are giving to make this nation great!
