I enjoyed the Gettysburg Address yesterday!

[HerbS]

Yesterday,I was invited to hear a middle school student[male] recite the Gettysburg Address in front of large crowd[250 people].He won a National award for his work,and he was dressed as Lincoln.It was a very moving ceremony[taps,bagpipes,etc].Tears came to my eyes,how fitting it was as the crowd proceded to the small hamlet cemetary.Then a wreath was laid at the grave of an unkown Civil War Soldier.The wreath was presented by a 97yr old ancestor[female] of a Civil War Soldier!WOW!
