here, but it can never forget what they
did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated 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; and 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."
May God make us worthy of the memory of Abraham Lincoln!
