battle as we conclude today's event let

170
00:23:13,78 --> 00:23:19,50
us all remain keenly aware that all gave
some Some Gave All in the sweetness of

171
00:23:19,51 --> 00:23:20,80
freedom comes with

172
00:23:20,81 --> 00:23:26,28

with flowers or otherwise decorating

179
00:23:54,92 --> 00:23:59,87
the graves of comrades who died in
defense of their country during the late

180

rebellion. And whose bodies now lie and
almost every city village and hamlet

churchyard in the land. In this observant
no form ceremony is prescribed

182

but posting comrades will in their own
way arrange such fitting services and

testimonials of respect as circumstances
may permit. We are organized

the late rebellion. What can

00:24:44,78 --> 00:24:50,22
a more to assure this result than by
cherishing tenderly the memory of our war dead

188
00:24:50,98 --> 00:24:52,09
who made their breaths

189
00:24:52,18 --> 00:24:57,70

freedom to a racing change
and near death a child to

191
00:25:02,82 --> 00:25:07,97
a rebellious tyranny an arms we should
guard their graves with sacred vigilance.

All that the cause created wealth and taste
of the nation can add to their dormant

and security is but

194
00:25:16,64 --> 00:25:22,75
a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain
defend is. No want to tread rudely on

195
00:25:22,76 --> 00:25:29,59
such hallowed grounds. Pleasant paths
invite the coming and going reverent

00:25:29,60 --> 00:25:35,99
visited us and found mourners.
Let no vandalism of avarice

197
00:25:36,39 --> 00:25:43,36
neglect no ravages of time testify to
the present to the coming generations

198
00:25:43,88 --> 00:25:45,38
that we have forgotten as

as sacred Judges upon the nation's gratitude
to the soldiers and sailors widow and

207
00:26:33,95 --> 00:26:39,05
often it is the purpose of the commander
in chief to inaugurate this observance

208
00:26:39,45 --> 00:26:43,87
with the hope it will be kept from
here kept up from year to year while

00:26:43,88 --> 00:26:49,78
a survivor of the war remains to out of
the memory of his departed comrades he

210
00:26:49,79 --> 00:26:55,03
earnestly desires the public press to
call attention to this water and lend its

211
00:26:55,04 --> 00:27:00,50
friendly aid in bringing it to the notice
of comrades in all parts of the country

to ninety four the American Legion in

218
00:27:36,14 --> 00:27:39,90
November eight hundred sixty three just
four months after the battle to change the

219
00:27:39,91 --> 00:27:43,46
Civil War of the present United
States Abraham Lincoln traveled to

220
00:27:43,47 --> 00:27:46,44
a little town in Pennsylvania. To dedicate

221
00:27:46,45 --> 00:27:52,85
a cemetery he was asked to speak these
were his words. Four score and seven years

222
00:27:52,86 --> 00:27:55,43
ago our fathers brought
forth on this continent

223
00:27:55,47 --> 00:28:00,58
a new nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are

224
00:28:00,59 --> 00:28:03,50
created equal. Now we are engaged in

225
00:28:03,51 --> 00:28:08,07
a great civil war testing whether that
nation or any nation so conceived and so

226
00:28:08,08 --> 00:28:11,58
dedicated can long endure we are met on

227
00:28:11,59 --> 00:28:14,76
a great battlefield of that
war we have come to dedicate

228
00:28:14,77 --> 00:28:15,97
a portion of that field as

229
00:28:15,98 --> 00:28:21,22
a final resting place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation might

230
00:28:21,23 --> 00:28:25,94
live and is all together and fitting and
proper that we should do this but in

231
00:28:25,95 --> 00:28:31,52
a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot
consecrate we cannot Hollow this ground

232
00:28:32,01 --> 00:28:36,87
the brave men living and dead who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our

233
00:28:36,88 --> 00:28:42,03
poor power to add or detract. The world
will little note nor long remember what we

234
00:28:42,04 --> 00:28:47,28
say here but it can never forget what they
did here it is for us the living rather

235
00:28:47,32 --> 00:28:51,52
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus

236
00:28:51,53 --> 00:28:57,36
far so nobly advanced it is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great task

237
00:28:57,37 --> 00:29:02,38
remaining before us that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that

238
00:29:02,39 --> 00:29:06,93
cause for which they here gave the last
full measure of devotion that we here

239
00:29:06,94 --> 00:29:11,32
highly resolve that these dead some not
have died in vain that this nation under

240
00:29:11,33 --> 00:29:12,07
God shall have

241
00:29:12,08 --> 00:29:16,77
a new birth of freedom and that government
of the people by the people for the

freedoms we all enjoy today I'm always

servicemen and women who have died while

00:32:27,63 --> 00:32:33,24
serving our country since nine eleven were

282
00:32:33,25 --> 00:32:37,46
to another thirty seven thousand flags
representing those from the Commonwealth

283
00:32:37,47 --> 00:32:43,49
that have given their ultimate sacrifice
since the Revolutionary War. We take time

284
00:32:43,50 --> 00:32:47,25
this morning to reflect on of those that
have made that ultimate sacrifice each of

285
00:32:47,26 --> 00:32:50,65
us as our own perspective on
those sacrifices many of us have

286
00:32:50,66 --> 00:32:56,13
a story of our own like to share our family
story is just one example of how many

287
00:32:56,14 --> 00:32:58,13
are out there I'm proud to serve as

288
00:32:58,14 --> 00:33:03,58
a citizen so old soldier in the master's
Army National Guard. In my family legacy

289
00:33:03,62 --> 00:33:08,33
is this on October twenty third one nine
hundred forty four my grandfather namesake

290
00:33:08,37 --> 00:33:11,86
First Lieutenant friends of some again
was killed in action in the Philippines

291
00:33:11,87 --> 00:33:14,21
during the Battle of late today he too is

292
00:33:14,22 --> 00:33:18,04
a member of the Master's National Guard
assigned to the hundred first of attributes

293
00:33:18,60 --> 00:33:23,48
just amassed until he was mobilized into
federal service. He was transferred to the

294
00:33:23,49 --> 00:33:27,08
seven sixty seven tank battalion and was
killed three days after landing on the

295
00:33:27,09 --> 00:33:30,85
shores of Lake. He left his wife
and six children adore just

296
00:33:30,86 --> 00:33:35,86
a lot of those boys all would want to serve
two in the Army one of the Marine Corps

297
00:33:35,87 --> 00:33:41,77
and one of the Navy during the Korean and
Vietnam Arabs. Story only is one of the

298
00:33:41,78 --> 00:33:46,67
many records is occurring here in Quincy
and across the nation not on this day but

299
00:33:46,68 --> 00:33:51,52
for many every day. Each one of those thirty
seven thousand flags that were placed

300
00:33:51,53 --> 00:33:55,07
last week represented not only
a service member but a family

301
00:33:55,71 --> 00:33:58,64
a family whose life changed
on a particular day in

302
00:33:58,65 --> 00:34:03,89
a particular country so that we can continue
to live in freedom. During the month

303
00:34:03,90 --> 00:34:07,72
of May our nation has the opportunity to
corroborate and celebrate the American

304
00:34:07,73 --> 00:34:09,25
spirit in those men

305
00:34:09,26 --> 00:34:14,21
a woman in uniform past and present who
served in some cases died for our country

306
00:34:14,25 --> 00:34:19,86
during our Forces Day and Memorial Day.
But for some it's easy to forget the

307
00:34:19,87 --> 00:34:24,18
purpose of Memorial Day we're often grateful
for their release on Friday the long

308
00:34:24,19 --> 00:34:27,52
weekend spent with family and friends
and although more they should be

309
00:34:27,53 --> 00:34:32,53
a day of rest should never lose focus of
its true meaning honoring and remembering

310
00:34:33,79 --> 00:34:33,94
it's

311
00:34:33,95 --> 00:34:39,23
a date on to those lost not to how they
died but the how they lived how they chose

312
00:34:39,24 --> 00:34:43,26
a life of service to the nation how then
chose to join the less than one percent of

313
00:34:43,27 --> 00:34:48,46
citizens are currently serving. A cause
larger than themselves freedom and

314
00:34:48,47 --> 00:34:53,60
democracy. It may have Lincoln once said
any nation that does not on its heroes

315
00:34:53,61 --> 00:34:58,80
will not long endure. No words can adequately
describe the debt we owe the men and

316
00:34:58,81 --> 00:35:02,57
women we are here today they've earned our
freedom in places like Bunker Hill in

317
00:35:02,58 --> 00:35:09,32
Yorktown Gettysburg an end to the
trenches of France. In Normandy

318
00:35:09,73 --> 00:35:16,00
the Korean Peninsula Vietnam Kuwait
Afghanistan and Iraq because of their

319
00:35:16,01 --> 00:35:22,39
sacrifice freedom and Doris. Their words
and all the national cemetery moral that

320
00:35:22,40 --> 00:35:25,82
speaks volumes about the bravery of the men
and women who gave their lives for our

321
00:35:25,83 --> 00:35:30,85
nation it reads not the family war not for

322
00:35:30,86 --> 00:35:36,10
a place or rank not lured by ambition
or goaded by necessity but in simple

323
00:35:36,11 --> 00:35:42,49
obedience to duty as they understood it
these men suffered all sacrificed all did

324
00:35:42,50 --> 00:35:48,33
all in died. And so each year we celebrate
their memory in honor of their sacrifice

325
00:35:48,68 --> 00:35:53,70
for only by remembering what they gave us
and we fully appreciate what we have. And

326
00:35:53,71 --> 00:35:57,46
as I think about this I can only say
one day is not enough. Today is

327
00:35:57,47 --> 00:36:01,10
a day for reflection a day for
giving thanks just will be

328
00:36:01,11 --> 00:36:06,38
a day of resolution every day we enjoy the
liberties paid for by the blood of our

329
00:36:06,39 --> 00:36:11,36
fallen we must resolve to honor their
sacrifice in our daily lives so how do we do

330
00:36:11,37 --> 00:36:16,83
this support the families of those we

00:37:01,26 --> 00:37:06,06
good National Guard or Reserves. They leave
their jobs and families behind in order

341
00:37:06,07 --> 00:37:10,29

350
00:37:51,04 --> 00:37:52,48
hallowed ground this is

351
00:37:52,49 --> 00:37:59,28
a labor of love and honor. For me and
for our staff and as always these

352
00:37:59,29 --> 00:38:02,87
things don't happen by themselves
so I want to take a minute and say

353
00:38:02,88 --> 00:38:09,62
a special thanks to my office staff Marianne
McCormick. Heather Sargent Cherokee

354

for the parade this year and what you

356
00:38:23,54 --> 00:38:28,19

I've done it already Steve the traffic

357
00:38:28,20 --> 00:38:34,30

department and we can never say enough to

358
00:38:34,31 --> 00:38:38,28
Scott Logan and the cemetery crew for
what they've done for all of this.

359
00:38:45,53 --> 00:38:50,78
Friday I was at the Snug Harbor School for
their memorial ceremony and on the way

360
00:38:50,79 --> 00:38:52,38
back it was a nice sunny day with

361
00:38:52,39 --> 00:38:58,15
a mild breeze so I stopped over pulled in
the parking lot over here just to look.

362
00:38:59,40 --> 00:39:02,02
And what a magnificent sight this was on

363
00:39:02,03 --> 00:39:06,84
a sunny day I will have many sunny days
between now and September before we take

364
00:39:06,85 --> 00:39:13,70
these down again and it struck me as
I just looked how inspirational This

365
00:39:13,71 --> 00:39:20,62
site is. And how special it is for the
thousand men that are buried here. And

366
00:39:20,63 --> 00:39:25,43
women. But it also made me think
of another element to there may be

367
00:39:25,44 --> 00:39:31,45
a thousand flags here. But
every single flag represents

368
00:39:31,46 --> 00:39:38,43
a family. And it represents untold
numbers of memories. From the

369
00:39:38,44 --> 00:39:42,63
families and from these
individuals. And it is

370
00:39:42,64 --> 00:39:49,49
a legacy beyond match. To have the
ability to present these and give

371
00:39:49,50 --> 00:39:54,50
these places the care that
they deserve. I want to take

372
00:39:54,51 --> 00:39:59,37
a special moment and thank Mayor Koch for
allowing me to deviate from our normal

373
00:39:59,96 --> 00:40:06,64
Memorial Day observance routine. Because
I've always thought we remember back to

374
00:40:06,65 --> 00:40:12,45
the hard time we had in March with that
terrible storm. And all the damage that it

375
00:40:12,49 --> 00:40:19,04
did. And it struck me we
honor these men and women.

376
00:40:20,14 --> 00:40:25,52
Who kept freedom on the shores of our
nation. And though they are not with us and

377
00:40:25,71 --> 00:40:31,67
figuratively They're here with spirit and
I know that every one of them is attorney

378
00:40:31,68 --> 00:40:37,99
grateful. That we have.
Our first responders

379
00:40:38,66 --> 00:40:45,28

Many of us are fortunate not to be

380
00:40:45,48 --> 00:40:52,25
a hands on recipient of first responder
care but these men and women sleep knowing

381
00:40:52,26 --> 00:40:59,08
that every single day. Your freedom
and your quality of life is defended

382
00:40:59,96 --> 00:41:05,28

men and women of the Quincy police

Brewster and Fallon ambulance the National

384
00:41:10,90 --> 00:41:17,16
Guard that helped us and that's why
I asked the mayor to allow the city

385
00:41:18,04 --> 00:41:20,75
to record this opportunity just for

386
00:41:20,76 --> 00:41:25,99
a moment because we can never thank them
enough either to say thank you to our

387
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:32,36
first responders who are there for
us all the time thank you he's fine.

388
00:41:37,18 --> 00:41:43,07

we remember them. In the blueness

beginning of the year and when it
ends we remember them. When we

496
00:55:55,52 --> 00:56:02,39
are weary and in need of strength
we remember them. When we

497
00:56:02,40 --> 00:56:09,38
are lost and sick at heart
we remember them. When we
