How do we Keep Abraham Lincoln’s Promise to our Veterans and Their Families? Abraham Lincoln once promised, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.” This promise is to remind us to never forget the cost of freedom and what veterans did for our country. How do we as Americans keep his promise?
In Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, he stressed that the citizens should carry on this war “with malice toward none” and “with charity for all.” This statement could be considered self-contradictory because the North had immense amounts of hate for the South, as did the South for the North. Despite their hate for each other, Lincoln had much desire for this war to end quickly, as he wanted to reunite the Union as it once was before this horrendous dispute started. Lincoln found it mandatory that the people relieve all hate for each other in order to obtain a peace that only the end of the war could possibly bring.
I am extremely honored today to speak on behalf of the veterans of this nation and I would like to begin with a question. I’d like to ask what is one thing all veterans of this country have in common? Immediately several things pop into your mind. It may be that veterans have all known the hardships that are inherent in serving in the military…the long hours, the austere conditions, the continual duty of working every day in a combat zone, in dangerous conditions during a deployment, for months on end, for multiple tours.

Ninety-eight years ago, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice was declared between Germany and the Allied Nations in World War I. One year later, it was celebrated as Armistice Day to honor the cause of world peace. After World War II and the Korean War, it was renamed Veterans Day, dedicated to American veterans from any war. The transition from Armistice Day to Veterans Day seems appropriate, for we would not have peace if we did not have veterans. But the implication that veterans are mere preservers of order is a vast misrepresentation; they do much more for our nation.

Veterans are some of the bravest men and women that you will ever know. They fought for our country in our most desperate hours and risked their lives so we could have the chance to live ours.
