The Gettysburg Address is perhaps the most brilliant piece of writing about the horror of war, and the men who die fighting them, ever written. Today, we don't celebrate, we don't spend the day without spending some time thinking about those who died in service of country.
"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."Gettysburg Address
