If We Wrote The Gettysburg Address, it May Look Like This......
87 years ago our fathers made a new country. They planned a country where people were free and equal. Now the states are fighting among themselves to see if such a country can last.
We are gathered today on this battlefield to dedicate a part of it to be a cemetery. It is right that we should do this, but really it was already dedicated by the men who died here. No one will remember what we say here, but people will always remember what those soldiers did here.
It is the job of those of us still living to work to finish what these soldiers fought and died for. They gave everything including their lives for this cause, and we must not let them die without meaning. When we win this battle our country will be a stronger country where government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not disappear from our Earth.
