Eourscore and seven yean ago
~ our fathers brought forth upon

conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that al men are

battlefield Of that war. We have
come to dedicate a portion Of that
field as final resting place for those
who here gave Their lives that that
nation might live.

that We should do this. But, in a
larger sense. we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hal
