RE: What Will You Do For Lincoln's Day ?
Found this video of the freedom bell with the engraved words from the Gettysburg Address dedicated to the citizens of Berlin in 1950 (see post #14) ringing (?) at noon - please skip a bit forward as in the beginning you hear the bells of a nearby church.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FeyM_AsPdrM The bell rings each day at noon, at midnight on on New Year's Eve, and additionally to commemorate special occasions, like 9/11. (It's the very place where JFK held this speech, and which is now named after him: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PUaqIOwmRm8 ) (PS: While I couldn't find an Abraham Lincoln Place, there are Abraham Lincoln Streets in Germany.) |
