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 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,
