This video was originally made for Veterans Day, but eloquently captures the spirit of today, when we honor those fallen heroes whose blood has honored the blessings and solidified the foundations of liberty in the greatest country to ever rise from the dust of the earth.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address:

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
