Taken from the moving and beautiful peroration from Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address – in which he reminded his contemporaries151 years ago that every American has an obligation and responsibility to support the care of the military families of loved ones killed in action – one of our oldest and most noble traditions. He said:

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan–to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

These words are as important today as when Lincoln first uttered them in1865. Let us never forget them.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!
