Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends

“... It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

—President Lincoln, except from The Gettysburg Address

We hope you’ll take a few minutes today to watch this incredible  tribute to those who have sacrificed so much to protect and defend our Freedom and Liberty.

Here is what one YouTube commenter wrote about this tribute:

“Amazing, Every American should see this video to help them remember it's not a day off for BBQs but for giving thanks to all of those who served past present and future. There have been times when this great nation was threatened, but brave men and women have answered the call and defeated oppressors and kept this nation safe and continue to do so. God Bless our troops and their families!”
