President Lincoln gave his historical Gettysberg address on November 19, 1863, to dedicate a national cemetery on the battlefield where over 5,000 soldiers from the Union and Confederate armies were slain. The Battle of Gettysberg (Virginia), fought over three days, saw a total of over 28,000 Confederate and 23,000 Union troops killed. The American Civil War (1861-1865) left a mind-numbing 600,000 plus dead soldiers (360,000 Union and 260,000 Confederate).The numbers of dead from the Civil War are hard to grasp, especially when it was Americans killing Americans. People get upset when they reflect on the 57,000 US soldiers killed during theVietnam War, or the 5,000 plus in Iraq. In the context of the history of nations the Civil War was only 150 years ago, a mere blink of the eye for ancient countries such as Greece, China and even younger countries like Great Britain.For those actively involved in the mud slinging, political hyperbole and legislative stalling tactics, they may wish to contemplate their actions after reading Lincoln’s brief yet cogent Gettysberg Address.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.

Also Remembrance Day for Canada and much of Europe.

In Flanders Field In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.



John McCrae
