Reading this gave me goosebumps… Words that were said nearly 161 years ago still rings true in another way. Words that still inspire hope and deeper purpose in how we live our lives. No matter what others say or do, it's an excellent reminder to not take our freedom for granted, and be grateful and appreciative of the sacrifices others have made for us to have the lives we have today.
One of my Air Force buddies who now works for a campaign in Michigan sent us the following:
No matter what happens, remember the code of conduct
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and the United States of America .
Lincoln's words ring especially true for the vets today, people who actually put their bodies on the line for these principles. Your friend is very wise.
Oh, Noor. Thank you. Dear Mr. Lincoln brought me to tears again. Let's ground ourselves in his words and go forward with calm confidence.
Exactly. Right here with you.

Thank you for this at a time when I sorely need it. And as Elizabeth B says, go forward with calm confidence.
I read this 4 times, then restacked it.
Thank you for the reminder of our history - our nation WILL heal.
