MEMORIAL DAY

I thought that the following Address that Abraham Lincoln delivered at Gettysburg is as appropriate now as it was then.

President Abraham Lincoln gave his historic Gettysburg Address and eloquently laid out the simple yet profound idea that lies at the heart of this day.

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.

All I can add to this is AMEN!
And may the Good Lord Bless, Protect and Keep the United States of America a Constitutional Republic.
