Freedom...

"...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...." Quote from President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863 on the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Your beautiful photo put me in mind of these words from the first verse of America the Beautiful...

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Here is a link to the history and evloution of this magnificent song:

All the words are so meaningful and almost cause my heart to break over the state of our great country today...

Gloria, I love both your photo and the quote you chose from Abraham Lincoln! Fav
