158 YEARS AGO
158 years ago this week marks the Gettysburg Address given by President Lincoln.
the battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle of the civil war. with the Unions victory it dashed the hopes of the Confederate States of becoming an independent Nation.
At a Memorial service the keynote Speaker Edward Everett spoke for over 2 hours yet no one knows who he was or what he said.
by contrast the last speaker President Lincoln spoke for under 5 minutes and delivered one of the most memorable speeches in the history of The United States of America.
a good lesson learned that day, it's not how long you speak but what you say that people will remember
GOD BLESS THE USA
