Lest We Forget. The year 1776 and lest we forget the year of 1865.
Two of the most important years in the life of this country. As we look at Personal Responsibility, we must ask our selves, Where do we as a nation go from here in the coming years?
Please join with me and read one of the most important speeches ever given.
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to this 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 battlefield 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 cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot 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, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln.

It is a great speech, isn’t it?
In 6th grade the teacher picked me to read it for the class, and I have always felt bad that I didn’t rehearse enough to do it justice.
I have wanted to write something like this on my webpage which has given me an idea. Cheers.
Decent story, although the last piece is a bit unclear in my opinion. I do hope to see more of this, but how can I stay updated with your posts? Best regards from Holland!
Thank you for your thoughts, I have had a few problems with my site, which I am working on. The last bit was not intended to be there so thank you for bringing it to my attention. It has been corrected. You may stay updated by putting me in your reader, when I post it will show up in your feed.
Always, Bumby
