The GETTYSBURG PROJECT: HONORING 150 YEARS, 1863-2013 is a nationwide project sponsored by "FROM THE WARFRONT TO THE HOMEFRONT FOUNDATION INC, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization founded in 2007.
Our goal is to put forth a nationwide celebration that will honor and educate the public at large about one of the greatest achievements in the history of this great nation and the world at large.
We are asking the public at large to develop a variety of projects to help celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address whether its reciting the speech before a classroom, stadium crowd and other indoor/outdoor events; all day forums/lectures to discuss the history behind the speech and so on.
Its up to you as to how you would want to honor this President and this address. However you do so can be a monumental educational awakening for years to come.
LETS MAKE 2013 A YEAR TO HONOR THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS AND THE INDIVIDUAL WHO DELIVERED THIS HISTORIC SPEECH--PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The Gettysburg Address, delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19th, 1863 at the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetary in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is considered one of the best known and greatest speeches ever given during the history of this great nation. The speech came four and a half months after Union armies defeated the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. A battle in which over 50,000 soldiers combined from both sides died.
In this speech, President Lincoln reiterated the principles of human freedoms espoused in the Declaration of Independence, and proclaimed that the Civil War was a battle for the preservation of the Union who's existence was now threatened by a "crisis of secession"
Lincoln further noted that only with this "new birth of freedom" could true equality to all of its citizens be achieved thereby ensuring that democracy would remain a viable form of government.
The Gettysburg Address*
by President Abraham Lincoln
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon 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 battlefield 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 cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot 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 here 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.
