Soldier’s National Monument

Gettysburg was fought on July 1, 2, and 3, 1863. On November 19th, 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared that those gathered there should be dedicated to the great task remaining before them, take increased devotion from the honored dead who gave the last full measure of devotion, resolve that these dead should not have died in vain, and ensure that the nation, under God, would have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, would not perish from the earth.
