Abraham Lincoln and The Gettysburg Address

This is the Soldier's National Monument.  It is the spot near where Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg address. The graves form half circle rows around the monument. You don't see that from the ground. It stands as a national monument to sorrow. Marble statues around the base of the monument represent History, War, Peace and Plenty. The figure of the Genius of Liberty tops the monument, holding a sword in one hand and the wreath of peace in the other and representing the constant struggle for freedom.  It is a beautiful monument. The symbolism reminds me of the symbolism at the Capitol Building. The second memorial is in honor of Abraham Lincoln.

I had to add two professional pictures of the

monument. My pictures don't do it justice.
