A strong suggestion that, in this frayed moment in our democracy, we honor the Civil War battle that secured the future of our nation. Then bake a patriotic tart.
Having recently done a deep dive into the battle of Gettysburg for a lost & found story, I feel a much closer connection to and understanding of all Lincoln tried to say in this one speech. There’s a reason Americans of all kinds aim to memorize it and stitch it into our souls. Thanks for sharing it again.
Thanks, Pat. Such eloquence. I don't believe I have ever seen that photo before. I visited Hildene with my dad in Vermont years ago, and I got chills when I saw Lincoln's hat.
My 5th grade nun teacher told us that America will always be great because God makes sure we have the best president for our worse times ....how's that for comfort?!
Thank you for this, Pat. It’s so good to have a reminder of the words that inspired the living and memorialized those who sacrificed so much to afford us the opportunity to carry on the struggle for our democracy.🙏
I have to read that story!

Keep the faith!
I think this address is all that's giving me faith these days

We need them. don't we?

Man knew how to get to us
“...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Thank you for this one today, Pat.
