Today's Quote from Our Flag
On the anniversary of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, here is an excerpt from that famous speech:

"We are met on a great battle-field of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field,
as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this."

[ Nov. 19, 1863 at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania ]

And, now it's time to ...
Recite the Pledge of Allegiance

Students across America, at school or at home, inspired by and working to fulfill the promises stated in the Gettysburg Address, please, unite and state together:
