When I am in Washington, I often take my morning run to the Lincoln Memorial. There I read, sometimes out loud if alone, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. I love it. Particular the last part, which is so relevant today...

”We here highly resolve, that these dead shall NOT have died in vain, and that this nation , under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and a government of the people by the people and for the people shall never vanish from the earth.”

Happy Independence Day!
