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."
Abraham Lincoln, November
19, 1863, The Gettysburg Address.
