ABE’S MESSAGE ON PEARL HARBOR DAY

On the Portland Park Blocks.

“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.”
