Abraham Lincoln once said "And in the end, its not the years in your life that count. Its the life in your years." Truely one of the greatest Americans to ever grace this nation.
And for those who believe that freeing the Slaves had no part in the course of this Civil War, remember while in an argument with another politician [[ who was attempting to justify Slavery ]] Lincoln replied '' if Slavery isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong ''.
He was great man. But the statement “who authorized you to enslave people” was uttered by Second Caliph of Muslims namely Omar Bin Khataab. Twisting history has a history in the US.
@@NooraTS20000 Omar was killed by a slave whom he refused to help when the latter was wronged by his unjust Arab master. Omar's son then killed a bunch of random non-Arabs in retaliation for his father's assassination. He was let go by those in power. So they were slave owners AND racists. Don't pretend that they were examples of justice and non-discrimination. Islam has allowed slavery and the practice persists to this day among certain muslin groups and communities.

I as an American, I agree it is just like a quote from Lincoln in fact he said: "The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong it’s reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.

I was the local Scout Chaplain for many years and had the honor of reading this speech at a Memorial Day Celebration at a local War memorial a few years ago. A group of Amish were putting on a roof across the street and stopped to listen, being visibly moved. These words are so powerful. I hope we are still worthy of them.
50 years ago I memorized this speech for my 9th grade english class. And to this day I can still recite most of it from memory. Lincoln new that preserving the ground and the dedication of 2 armies meant that if we did not learn then this nation would fail, for me this still holds true ! It is now 2021 and we are at a crossroads again. Are we going to let it fail because we as a people have grown Niaeve and forgotten that it is our country and not your or mine but belongs to all of us. I fear that this nation after such a long history is going to fall to the way side and be forgotten simply because we have forgotten how to work together and stand together again as , One Nation Under God Indivisable With liberty and Justice for All.
"But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hollow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add & detract." This phrase is what struck me most.
Memorized this in school when i was 13 years old. Occasionally whenever someone talks about lincoln i quiz myself and repeat it in my head. 30 years old now and still have it memorized word for word for some reason.
"The world will little note nor long remember what we say here!" With resp Mr Pres. Your articulate words and eloquent delivery have etched their deeds on the souls of unborn generations everywhere.
Tragic that within a century of it's Declaration of Independence from Great Britain (GB) in 1776, the US was at war with itself in 1868. Can't imagine what Native America made of European settlers importing their characteristic contentiousness.
...and yet the speech itself pushes focus away from the speech rhetoric, and towards the history of those dead...and what we should do about it in the unfinished work still before us.
I’ve always considered The Gettysburg Address to be one of the greatest pieces of writing in the history of our nation, but recently learning that one of my 4x great grandfathers fought at Gettysburg… it speaks so much more emotionally to me now.
Its about equality of dignity not equality of results. We are created equal in God's sight in this regard. And it is the human struggle, not just the American struggle.
One of the best sculpted speeches I've ever had the honour to read or hear. I expect it was as eloquently orated as it as it was word smithed. The world needs more striding Collosses like him. US citizen's should concentrate on the common denominator of the American centeredness than their rightness or leftness. They're the envy of the world. Respect him!
And yet. he scribbled it on the back of an envelope and looking back said it was embarrassing because of it's brevity. Historians attribute this to the grave-like silence that fell over the crowd after he sat down. All the other speeches were vigorously applauded. This one resulted in reverent contemplation.
Great speech, with carefully crafted words, by a great man who endured a lot of adversities in private and public life ---- but never gave up. Life of Abraham Lincon was not easy, but it was quite human and heroic indeed. Life of a real AMERICAN.
President A. Lincoln is a noble and humble leader with integrity. I love this speech and it gives me the chills every time I listen to it. I know we can all relate to it no matter what walks of life we're from. I quote, "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 die in vain". I think about my ancestors and how they dedicated their lives to pave the way for my family, my posterity and me. I have so much respect.
@@adorabledeplorable5105 JFK gave a great speech about free speech, a free press and the freedom to oppose government. The speech Eisenhower gave about Science, Technology and the Military Industrial Complex was pretty good too. The general theme is the same and there is no competition anyway - all deserve 'a place at the table'.
as a Sri Lankan sinhala Buddhist citizen i really really appreciate and always honour and love former united states president his excellency Abraham Lincoln and his dedicated service to the united states of America and specially his tirelessly service to eradicate slavery and slave trade from the entire usa territory etc we love and respect him forever may he rest in peace
I knew about this noble man when i was in 5th standard. I read about his struggle against poverty in his childhood.The incident when he brought book from his friend for one night and he fell asleep in midnight .when he woke up next morning the book was totally destroyed by rain water dripping from his roof since he was living in mud house. When he told about this to his friend ,he makes two deals .one either u return my book as it was or work on my Field for a week. Since A Lincoln was so poor that he choose second deal and worked day and night on his friend,s farm . Moreover he used to write on his wall with coal since he had no pen and paper . It made me saddened everytime. He was shot killed eventually. A great president this earth planet ever have
We so often take such things for granted but after 66 years in this world and long exposed to the conflicts this nation has survived I can't help but read this with tears streaming down my face.

“The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 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.” I’m not trying to let you down Abe. I do my best
History brings and show us greatest of the people that they are always with us and teaching us to rise to fight to bee a better person. Thanking them for the wise words when we need more in our life's. Thank you
You know how many people define eras for America? Such as pre Vietnam War America and post Vietnam War America? Pre 911 America and Post 911 America? Well we should always remember Pre Lincoln America and Post Lincoln America
My hero since I learned to read and write. In junior school I used to break down every time while reciting, "Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!/ But I, with mournful tread,/ Walk the deck my Captain lies,/ Fallen cold and dead." That was close to four decades ago. President Lincoln needs to speak, and we need to listen, one more time. Not just the United States of America, but all humanity.
The best delivery of this speech is made outside, as it was pronounced by Lincoln himself, speaking with a loud and projecting voice, reaching as far as he could, to a very large audience. The rhythm of the piece was created with that foreseen circumstance in mind. The words have to be individually launched with force, with long pauses between them, and with the effort of the speaker marked, as fighting against a blowing wind. This brings back the text to the battlefield, conveying its size and the noise and movement that took place there, still echoing from the entrails of the earth. A speaker must be winded at the end, to convey the effort needed, and a sense of what the last measure of devotion might entail to those who were there. No one sheltered in a room can deliver this piece as it should be heard.
The other speaker (Edward Everett) spoke for over 2 hours at Gettysburg. He told Lincoln that he wished he could have said in two hours what Lincoln said in 2 minutes.
@@djt8937 And Everett wasn't the "opposition" He was the keynote speaker. Lincoln was only ever intended to offer brief "Dedicatory Remarks." There was no "opposition" speaker.
@@Jakethegoodman After the Gettysburg dedication ceremony, Edward Everett, the "featured" speaker, wrote to Lincoln: " "I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes." The comments above relate to Gettysburg. You must be confusing something about the debates.
Lincoln forsaw that America's Great Civil War and Battles will be forgotten. I live in Canada and the People here couldnt care less for your sacrifice America. I love America. Amen.
Hopefully we are about to get our country back on track. And hopefully our friends in Canada can kick comrade Trudeau out of office before he drives the last nail in the coffin in Canada. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 👍 ☺
Growing up in the South, I wonder how much different history would have been if Lincoln had lived. The Republicans at that time wanted to punish the south, Lincoln was for reconciliation and peace. In the 90's we went to Gettysburg. We could feel the ghosts there at the picket fence bordering the wheat field. We were in awe of the bravery on both sides. None of us would have marched into the fire at the wheat field. Does bravery like that still exist? Sadly almost 160 years we as a county are still wrestling with the consequences of that war. Blame does not heal, understanding is the best salve for that open wound.
A Southerner shot the US's best president over slavery. Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to a Southern mother who lost lost all 3 of her sons in the Civil War. He expressed his remorse for their loss. She tore up his letter and threw it in the fire. All the understanding that needs to happen is that half of America is ignorant and hateful. If Americans can shoot and kill Lincoln, if they can tell lies about him, they can do the exact same about Donald Trump and Obama.
😪in reverence and sincere gratitude May you all rest in peace. Thank you for you ultimate sacrifice. Our nation survives today because of the hallowed blood that you shed for our freedom. Thank you! .😐🙏
Lincoln was self taught and grew up very poor he used to work th Mississippi flat boats when he was a teenager and most of the time walked around barefoot before he decided to educate himself and pull himself out of serious poverty
I didn’t get educated in the USA,but we studied US history and we have to memorize the Gettysburg address as part of our oral/verbal test. President Lincoln is one of my favorite presidents before president Reagan.
People have fought and died for ideas of what America ought to be. in this address I found him asking the American people to have the courage to be Americans. "it is our responsibility" he says. lest we forget and have to learn the lesson again.
That's a great thing because 99% of Democrats in America today probably vomit while listening to such a speech. They'd rather hear one from Karl Marx or Saul Alinsky, pure human trash who both have permanent homes in Hell. May their eternity be absolutely unbearable as can be.
I have heard many times about Abraham Lincoln's gettysburg speech. But today for the first time I opened this video and heard..Three are many treasures hidden in this short time speech.. I think this great and dignified speech is the main weapon for all nations.
Don’t forget Jackson as well but let us not forget. There’s are great leaders but the men who followed them were truly inspirational and some of America finest
On 12th February 2021, I Krishnakumar. V, (a polio victim) from world’s largest democracy, India can’t control tears. God acts through great souls, Love you President Lincoln the beautiful God of entire humanity.
I remember playing our former President and spoke this great speech. I messed it up I was 9 but hey I am not perfect and neither is anyone. We were all created equal. Praise God
Lincoln is as much a political genius and magnificent philosopher as Churchill, Roosevelt. I love his wise thoughts. They are still relevant even though more than a century has passed).
If we as people don't study our history, we will be bound to repeat it. This speech which was spoken over 157 year ago still rings true for or current state as a nation. "A house divided can't stand" unfortunately we are divided more now then ever.
A beautiful narration of how a nation should survive to flourish, beating the odds of bipartisan efforts that tend to deny the very buds of unity and assimilating the sprouting gems that bear the hallmark of the foundation where greatness thrives.

We are *not* created equal - this fallacy has only sought to hinder the human race.
Its about equality of dignity not equality of results. We are created equal in God's sight in this regard. And it is the human struggle, not just the American struggle.
@@Namesi everybody sez that. Until they find out they're the sap in the tree of humanity.
@@Namesi obviously we aren’t all equal in personality and culture but we are one race the human race and I stand for that.

A thief will NEVER be my equal.
May he ask God for forgiveness and reform.
It still brings me to tears ! Thank you , President. Lincoln.
I had to re-enact this speech in school and I believe our children today need to do as well.
Never have so few words said so much!
Yes that is me know thanks you
Whoever is reading this comment, you will become SUCCESSFUL! victory is yours!
Thank you..
Same to you Bro
Thank you..😊 wish you the same 👍
Why thank you. My honour always be with you 😁

"The world will little note , nor long remember what we say here."
Au contraire, Mr. President. Au contraire.
As soon as I started reading the comment, the video started saying it with me
Oui monsieur. President Lincoln’s words are, indeed, forever immortal.
One of the best sculpted speeches I've ever had the honour to read or hear. I expect it was as eloquently orated as it as it was word smithed. The world needs more striding Collosses like him. US citizen's should concentrate on the common denominator of the American centeredness than their rightness or leftness. They're the envy of the world. Respect him!
And yet. he scribbled it on the back of an envelope and looking back said it was embarrassing because of it's brevity. Historians attribute this to the grave-like silence that fell over the crowd after he sat down. All the other speeches were vigorously applauded. This one resulted in reverent contemplation.
Great speech, with carefully crafted words, by a great man who endured a lot of adversities in private and public life ---- but never gave up. Life of Abraham Lincon was not easy, but it was quite human and heroic indeed. Life of a real AMERICAN.
What magnificent mind to have put those words down and to be honored to this day and forward we pray!
THE BEST SPEECH OF A.TRULY.GREAT.PRESIDENT
Words of honor, dignity and humanity by one of the greatest statesmen in history.
President A. Lincoln is a noble and humble leader with integrity. I love this speech and it gives me the chills every time I listen to it. I know we can all relate to it no matter what walks of life we're from. I quote, "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 die in vain". I think about my ancestors and how they dedicated their lives to pave the way for my family, my posterity and me. I have so much respect.
The second greatest speech given was MLK ‘s “ I have a dream “ on the steps of the Lincoln memorial in 1963 .
no no thats the 3rd
@@radioblitz1494 Then in your opinion , what was the second ?
@@adorabledeplorable5105 JFK gave a great speech about free speech, a free press and the freedom to oppose government. The speech Eisenhower gave about Science, Technology and the Military Industrial Complex was pretty good too. The general theme is the same and there is no competition anyway - all deserve 'a place at the table'.
I will see you there 😇🧹🚮
President John F Kennedy's "Moon Speech," is my favorite Speech, as Kennedy shares a "vision" for the United States for the next seventy-five years.
as a Sri Lankan sinhala Buddhist citizen i really really appreciate and always honour and love former united states president his excellency Abraham Lincoln and his dedicated service to the united states of America and specially his tirelessly service to eradicate slavery and slave trade from the entire usa territory etc we love and respect him forever may he rest in peace
I knew about this noble man when i was in 5th standard. I read about his struggle against poverty in his childhood.The incident when he brought book from his friend for one night and he fell asleep in midnight .when he woke up next morning the book was totally destroyed by rain water dripping from his roof since he was living in mud house. When he told about this to his friend ,he makes two deals .one either u return my book as it was or work on my Field for a week. Since A Lincoln was so poor that he choose second deal and worked day and night on his friend,s farm . Moreover he used to write on his wall with coal since he had no pen and paper . It made me saddened everytime. He was shot killed eventually. A great president this earth planet ever have
He was indeed a true man
We so often take such things for granted but after 66 years in this world and long exposed to the conflicts this nation has survived I can't help but read this with tears streaming down my face.
I'm not from the USA, but I had to learn that speech in my English class, it's still one of my favorites
Long live Lincoln's legacy.
This is the first time I've heard this entire speech...👏👏👏
And probably the last ,with a new cival VIRUS war happening if you reach an old age will be a miracle
YOU JUST ASK IT COVID MAKES A CASKET
His 2and inaugural speech is every bit as good and possibly better than Gettysburg
@@nathanthomas8184 Well God is the creator of existence...and miracles and I accept him as my master and Lord...so...im sure it won't be the last time ....and even if it is and I shall leave my body I will go with GOD into his Kingdom... my true Home...so either way I win...because my LORD has won for me.

*the brave men ,living and deadd , who struggled here. Have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract * amazing speach
YES it is , too bad they are no longer teaching this in schools, be it in person or virtually . I’m so glad that my kids are grown , and got a good old fashioned education
“The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 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.” I’m not trying to let you down Abe. I do my best
Can't imagine the vision of a man almost 250 yrs back. How great personality
I think this speech confirms the depth, genius and unparalleled uniqueness of him.
One of the best speeches in history
It IS the Best.
Watch Ronald Reagan's "We shall fight!" speech. One of my favorites
What a great speech ! Hope the people who are running their respective country today hear this.
“Government BY the people FOR THE PEOPLE”!
The government doesn’t control the people.
THE PEOPLE CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT!!

History brings and show us greatest of the people that they are always with us and teaching us to rise to fight to bee a better person. Thanking them for the wise words when we need more in our life's. Thank you
I have a feeling that We will all get to witness all of these amazing moments in history!!
this speech changed America
You know how many people define eras for America? Such as pre Vietnam War America and post Vietnam War America? Pre 911 America and Post 911 America? Well we should always remember Pre Lincoln America and Post Lincoln America
My hero since I learned to read and write. In junior school I used to break down every time while reciting, "Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!/ But I, with mournful tread,/ Walk the deck my Captain lies,/ Fallen cold and dead." That was close to four decades ago.
President Lincoln needs to speak, and we need to listen, one more time. Not just the United States of America, but all humanity.
Beautifully said. Thank you.
The greatest inspiration ever, Abraham Lincoln, belongs to the ages!
The best delivery of this speech is made outside, as it was pronounced by Lincoln himself, speaking with a loud and projecting voice, reaching as far as he could, to a very large audience. The rhythm of the piece was created with that foreseen circumstance in mind. The words have to be individually launched with force, with long pauses between them, and with the effort of the speaker marked, as fighting against a blowing wind. This brings back the text to the battlefield, conveying its size and the noise and movement that took place there, still echoing from the entrails of the earth. A speaker must be winded at the end, to convey the effort needed, and a sense of what the last measure of devotion might entail to those who were there. No one sheltered in a room can deliver this piece as it should be heard.
Hi, how are you feeling today?
the funny thing was that he only did his speech in under 90 seconds, meanwhile the opposition did their speech for 2 hours
The other speaker (Edward Everett) spoke for over 2 hours at Gettysburg. He told Lincoln that he wished he could have said in two hours what Lincoln said in 2 minutes.
@@djt8937 And Everett wasn't the "opposition" He was the keynote speaker. Lincoln was only ever intended to offer brief "Dedicatory Remarks." There was no "opposition" speaker.
You're talking about the Lincoln-Douglas Senate Election Debate. This was at Gettysburg.
@@Jakethegoodman After the Gettysburg dedication ceremony, Edward Everett, the "featured" speaker, wrote to Lincoln: " "I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes." The comments above relate to Gettysburg. You must be confusing something about the debates.
@@djt8937 why yes I’m a speaker
His many great statements have inspired generations of people
Am not from America but after revising what President Abraham Lincoln said it's indeed no wonder that democracy is still present all over the world
I got tears everytime I watch his lovely speech
Lincoln forsaw that America's Great Civil War and Battles will be forgotten. I live in Canada and the People here couldnt care less for your sacrifice America. I love America. Amen.
Hopefully we are about to get our country back on track. And hopefully our friends in Canada can kick comrade Trudeau out of office before he drives the last nail in the coffin in Canada. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 👍 ☺
Hopefully we can start getting America back on track. And I hope our friends in Canada can kick comrade Trudeau out of office soon.

Oh Abe, we need you now more than ever. Rest In Peace
These words matter now more than ever!!!
Great speech which united a nation during its darkest moment and turned it into a global superpower.
It's a great speech. It did neither of things you attribute to it.
great speech yes. global superpower wasn't until the ww2 era.
A man of vision. A man of action. A man that put purpose above politics.
🥀Amazing words from President Lincoln he helped change this word I'm thankful he did!!🥀☝️
I finished his speech. Most famous! Rest in peace mr Lincoln! Love you!
Hi Betsy, How are you doing?
Growing up in the South, I wonder how much different history would have been if Lincoln had lived. The Republicans at that time wanted to punish the south, Lincoln was for reconciliation and peace.
In the 90's we went to Gettysburg. We could feel the ghosts there at the picket fence bordering the wheat field. We were in awe of the bravery on both sides. None of us would have marched into the fire at the wheat field. Does bravery like that still exist? Sadly almost 160 years we as a county are still wrestling with the consequences of that war. Blame does not heal, understanding is the best salve for that open wound.
A Southerner shot the US's best president over slavery. Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to a Southern mother who lost lost all 3 of her sons in the Civil War. He expressed his remorse for their loss. She tore up his letter and threw it in the fire.
All the understanding that needs to happen is that half of America is ignorant and hateful. If Americans can shoot and kill Lincoln, if they can tell lies about him, they can do the exact same about Donald Trump and Obama.
😪in reverence and sincere gratitude
May you all rest in peace.
Thank you for you ultimate sacrifice.
Our nation survives today because of the hallowed blood that you shed for our freedom.
Thank you! .😐🙏
The federal government is the monster it is today because of the murder of hundreds of thousands on both sides by that man.
Abraham Lincoln Was Such A Caring, Respectful President During His Time. Always There For The American People.
He was a good man
@@will5026 Yes, You Are Right.
The Greatest piece of American Literature, written, and spoken, by our Greatest President.
America's greatest president and Americans killed him
*washington > lincoln.*
Lincoln was probably one of the most intelligent presidents we've ever had. Sad to see the past few being not so intelligent.
Lincoln was self taught and grew up very poor he used to work th Mississippi flat boats when he was a teenager and most of the time walked around barefoot before he decided to educate himself and pull himself out of serious poverty
Yes. The Greatest Speech in American History.
"I always walk slowly ; but I never walk backward !"
That's what Abraham Lincoln had said !
I didn’t get educated in the USA,but we studied US history and we have to memorize the Gettysburg address as part of our oral/verbal test. President Lincoln is one of my favorite presidents before president Reagan.
We are lucky we had Abe during this time🙏🏾
People have fought and died for ideas of what America ought to be. in this address I found him asking the American people to have the courage to be Americans.
"it is our responsibility" he says. lest we forget and have to learn the lesson again.
This is absolutely one of American history's greatest speeches.
I am not even american and i feel patriotic listening to this
That's a great thing because 99% of Democrats in America today probably vomit while listening to such a speech. They'd rather hear one from Karl Marx or Saul Alinsky, pure human trash who both have permanent homes in Hell. May their eternity be absolutely unbearable as can be.
I have heard many times about Abraham Lincoln's gettysburg speech. But today for the first time I opened this video and heard..Three are many treasures hidden in this short time speech.. I think this great and dignified speech is the main weapon for all nations.
Please do a video of Abraham Lincoln's most memorable quotes
Great Man, Great thoughts, Great words, Great speech! Take a bow from me, Sir, posthumously.
That government of the people, by the people, for the people
This is called "democracy" in modern politics
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E Lee and Martin Luther King Jr, truly the greatest Americans in history
True
Robert E Lee? Lol
@@Tom-gc9lq a true genius. A man of pure honor. He was a man of the bigger picture.
Don’t forget Jackson as well but let us not forget. There’s are great leaders but the men who followed them were truly inspirational and some of America finest
You forgot Theodore Roosevelt and Ulysses S. Grant
I’m from England and I think this is the best speech
On 12th February 2021, I Krishnakumar. V, (a polio victim) from world’s largest democracy, India can’t control tears. God acts through great souls, Love you President Lincoln the beautiful God of entire humanity.

I remember playing our former President and spoke this great speech. I messed it up I was 9 but hey I am not perfect and neither is anyone. We were all created equal. Praise God
Hope that this video live on in the future🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 god bless this great man.
I really love him my superior father thank you to give me future tips to go forward and hard struggle thank thanks thanks love you❤😘😘❤😘
As an Indian I have a great respect for him
His story serves as an inspiration for me
Lincoln is as much a political genius and magnificent philosopher as Churchill, Roosevelt. I love his wise thoughts. They are still relevant even though more than a century has passed).
The last part hits me like a bag of bricks.
Emotions it’s brings, especially with today.
“I do not pray for success. I ask for faithful-ness.”❤
If we as people don't study our history, we will be bound to repeat it. This speech which was spoken over 157 year ago still rings true for or current state as a nation. "A house divided can't stand" unfortunately we are divided more now then ever.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!! SO SAD!!!!
Thank You Mr. President Abraham Lincoln...The Virtue and Value is within thY Name..respect and peace.
Daniel Day Lewis, as always, was undeniably brilliant as Lincoln. What a powerful and moving film.
This speech is the greatest in our Republic’s history.
Greatest speech in American history, delivered by the greatest American in history…
what a man what a LEADER
rip hero
We will never forget❤️🇺🇸
A beautiful narration of how a nation should survive to flourish, beating the odds of bipartisan efforts that tend to deny the very buds of unity and assimilating the sprouting gems that bear the hallmark of the foundation where greatness thrives.
"In my life, I walk very slow but I never walk backward"-
