"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....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 didicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be 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 peris from earth."
-Abraham Lincoln
