Abraham Lincoln: The Greenysburg Address – 5:00 sponsored by: CMI Electric
It is a little known fact that after the war for freedom was over Abraham Lincoln turned his attention to more environmental pursuits. As with many of his in depth and insightful writings he was famous for giving speeches and address which moved the masses and inspired Nations. Just recently a man was fishing by the Potomac river and discovered and old book hidden beneath a great oak tree and in it was a copy of a little know address which honest Abe gave under that same tree on what some historians call the real first green day......
Wait a second. You Know This week I can’t do this. The green take off on a famous event. I keep thinking and thinking of what comic but meaningful turns and parodies I can write and I keep coming up against a feeling, a sense that I am messing with something that I shouldn’t, and everything I wanted to say was really already in the address that Abraham Lincoln gave at Gettysburg so....
I am going to read it. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here 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 -- 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.
