“I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.”– Abraham Lincoln’s Letter to Mrs. Lydia Bixby (November 21, 1864)

“…that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
– Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address (November 19, 1863)
