Remembering Our Heritage At Gettysburg

November 19th 2013 is the 150th Anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The address was first delivered nearly five months after the major battle that left tens of thousands of men wounded, dead or missing. President Lincoln face the crowd on that day with a heavy heart and in a few words left a legacy that lifts-up our country even today.

It was re-read today by a re-enactor to mark the anniversary. The ceremony included a wreath-laying at the Soldiers' National Cemetery. There also was a graveside salute to U.S. Colored Troops at noon (EST), and a tree planting ceremony in the afternoon.

Lincoln’s Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, 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 it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 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 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.

Everything we’ve achieved since that time was born out of the sacrifice of the soldiers that fought there and the patriots that followed through their footsteps throughout American history.
