What a beautiful way to remember. L

Thank you, Eleanor. It is a remarkable event to witness. I hope you have the opportunity to do so someday. It is referred to as "Remembrance Weekend" in November around the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. - Mike

Bill Woodstock
Solemn... but striking ! We owe such a debt to those who fought... and those who continue to fight for our freedom ! v/f
Michael Mazaika replied:
Amen and amen to that, Bill. Not that it was ever lost on me but it means even more now that we have a son in uniform. If you ever get the chance to see this event, it is held in November on the Saturday closest to the actual anniversary date of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Another even more inspiring event is the Memorial Illumination at the Antietam National Battlefield (first Saturday in December.

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, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. , Abraham Lincoln ... Thank you Michael
Michael Mazaika replied:
In great deeds, something abides. On great fields, something stays.....Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Thank you, DJ. It is an inspiring place; these are inspriing words. There sacrifice that frees us to type these brief messages is incredible to me. If you have not been but ever have the chance, visit the Antietam National Battlefield Memorial Illumination.
