Monologue Mania Day # 1730 A Just and Lasting Peace (for Veterans Day) by Janet S. Tiger (c) Nov. 11 2018
For all those who have served and are serving - I say thank you!
A Just and Lasting Peace © 2018
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.”
Abraham Lincoln, 1865 (Second Inaugural Address)
I know it seems odd to say, but there are actually some times when words fail me.
Or perhaps I should explain it like this - sometimes, other people's words are so perfect that I am struck dumb in awe! That is how I felt when I re-discovered Abraham Lincoln's words while researching Veterans Day.
Lincoln first offered the concept of taking care of veterans in his 2nd Inaugural Speech, given just weeks before his assassination.
The final paragraph is probably the most well-known - his few words capture so much that I do not think I can do better today, so I will close in echoing his ideas, which hold true to this day. Thank you, Abe!
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.[7]
Abraham Lincoln 1865
Amen.
