Cartoon of the Week: '... Their last full measure'

The News-Herald - May 24

" ... It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -  that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."       
- Abraham Lincoln, June 1, 1865


Every generation has had its guardians. This appeared in The News-Herald, but it is for all those who gave "their last full measure" everywhere, for all of us. 
That's the Point!

The Press & Guide - May 25
This Memorial Day weekend, while you're working in the yard or enjoying the first long weekend vacation of the summer, remember exactly for what the last Monday of May - Memorial Day - is dedicated ... to keep alive the memory of all those who, as President Abraham Lincoln said at the dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg, "... gave their last full measure of devotion" in defense of our Nation. To all of them, who fought and died in every war and conflict in which this Nation engaged, we owe a debt of thanks for security that allows us to live free.
