“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 (KJV)
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35 (ESV)
-- 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. Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863
