The 4th of July that was celebrated in Ashland, OR featured the Ashland City Band in concert. One of the pieces they played was a soft medley of a number of historically patriotic songs. About 2 minutes into the piece, a fellow dressed as Abraham Lincoln stepped forward and recited the Gettysburg Address. Those words are as pertinent today as they were in 1863, the difference being that the battlefield today is not yet a graveyard.
272 words composed on a train have inspired literally billions of people for over 160 years. Our eight grade US History teacher had us memorize it and I'm glad he did.
If only there had been a way to record Lincoln.......

Wonderful and charming sounding Ally, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to visiting Ashland soon from Bend for a birthday celebration.
Many fear unsettling times ahead. SCOTUS' distance from the center is not sustainable.
