Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 hmm...i though this was called plagerism..ah well... The Library of Congress has on file 29 translations of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Perhaps now they can add a 30th - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's interpretation - delivered at Wednesday's Pentagon memorial service in observance of September 11. Mr. Rumsfeld: " We're here today to honor those who died in this place and to rededicate ourselves to the cause for which they gave their lives, the cause of human liberty " Honest Abe: " 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. " Mr. Rumsfeld: " In a sense, we meet on a battlefield. " Honest Abe: " We are met on a great battlefield of that war. " Mr. Rumsfeld: " If it does not appear so today, that is because of the singular devotion. " Honest Abe: " For which they gave the last full measure of devotion. " Mr. Rumsfeld: " A visitor passing would see no hint of the terrible events that took place here but one year ago today. But we must not forget what happened here. " Honest Abe: " The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. " Mr. Rumsfeld: " We remember them today, and to their families, many of whom are here, know that we have not forgotten. But let us do more than remember. The greatest honor we can bestow on them, the best memorial we can fashion for them is to protect our liberty and secure it for generations to come. " Honest Abe: " 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.
