"...It is rather for us, the living, to stand here, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, 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."
Abraham Lincoln

Peace be with you.

  1. What a stroke of genius to use these words from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address as a commentary for the photo of ground zero. Very meaningful.

    Peace to you too.

  2. I completely agree with Lydia up there, who basically took the words right out of my mouth.
