I visited the Lincoln Memorial twice. It’s very popular at dusk.
His statue could not be more impressive.
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.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention were hosting an Out of the Darkness Walk here when I visited.

Lincoln’s work is far from finished. He needs inspire many more for many generations to come.
