1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, In accordance with the established tradition of 

3the Illinois House of Representatives, it is fitting that we 

4honor our brothers and sisters who have given their lives in 

5service to our country as the guardians of our long-held 

6freedoms; and

7 WHEREAS, To honor those brave souls who were sacrificed 

8long ago or to pay tribute to the those brave men and women of 

9today who have continued that fight for freedom, no better 

10words have been written than the Gettysburg Address; let us 

11now recite those words so humbly said by our 16th President, 

12Abraham Lincoln: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers

15created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing 

16whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so 

17dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield 

18of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, 

19as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives 

20that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and 

21proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we 

22cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this 

23ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, 

24have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or

1detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what 

2we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is 

3for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the 

4unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so
