Celebrating Abraham Lincoln

February 17, 2020

In this month's post, we celebrate Abraham Lincoln, who was born Feb. 12, 1809. Lincoln authored one of the greatest pieces of rhetoric and a speech that many consider one of the best in American history.

Listen to Lincoln's words in the Gettysburg Address regarding the critical challenges of America and paying tribute to those who died in the face of those challenges.
