On this 125th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, we present Susan Parson from Panorama elementary school in the St. George area. Four score and seven years ago. Our fathers brought forth on this continent. A new nation conceived in liberty. And dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war. Testing whether that nation or any other nation. So conceived and so dedicated. Can mount indore. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field. As a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate. We cannot, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little know nor long remember what we say here. But it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather. To be here dedicated to the unfinished work. Which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 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 lastful measure of devotion. That we here are highly resolved. That those 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. Sam.
