"...that government of the people, by the people, for the people
shall not perish from this earth."
In the midst of a war that threatened to split the nation, Lincoln encouraged us to work together to make our form of government endure. We are the oldest enduring republic in the history of the world, fifty very different states, amazingly large geographically Our union endures only if we citizens cherish and protect it. As we celebrate the beginning of our nation, we pray that we might work to be what we name ourselves - united states.
