A Reminder of Who We Are
And what we strive to be, even when we get sidetracked along the way. Today is the 161st anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

He wrote it on parchment? I thought it was the back of an envelope. Always appreciated Bob Newhart’s standup take on it.

Re: A Reminder of Who We Are
That's just part of who we are. That said, if you haven't been to Gettysburg, go. It is a place where time has nearly stood still, and you will leave humbled by what happened there over 3 days.
The other place I want to go is Normandy, where family stepped ashore in 1944.
