Dedication to the US Armed Forces
by American Patriot. July 13, 2005
Dedication to the US Armed Forces
from the People of the United States
Two hundred and twenty-nine years ago our Founding Fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal.
Now we are engaged in foreign battles, initiated upon false premises, testing whether this nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
The brave souls, living and dead, who have struggled in this time of war remind us of the costs of such folly far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will note and long remember what has been done and the damage we have wrought, and neither it nor we will ever forget.
It is for us, the living, to be re-dedicated to the unfinished work which those who have fought and died believed they nobly pursued.
It is for us, the survivors, to be 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 highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall enjoy the re-birth of freedom, and that this government of the People, by the People, for the People shall not perish from this earth.
[based upon Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address]
