Dear President Lincoln,

150 years ago today you delivered a most remarkable speech.

It has been largely noted and long remembered.

So much so that there exists a place where we can send a video of ourselves reciting your words.

I think you would enjoy viewing them.

The speech itself is beautifully crafted and artfully woven with the simplest of words.

We are met...

It is altogether fitting and proper...

We take increased devotion...

We here highly resolve...

Shall not perish from the earth...

Thank-you for this most perfect entwining of emotion and purpose and clarity.
