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. - President Abraham Lincoln
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a
Nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no
veteran behind.
The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.
That the purpose of this Organization shall be fraternal, patriotic,
historical, charitable, and educational: to preserve and strengthen
comradeship among its members; to assist worthy comrades; to perpetuate
the memory and history of our dead; and to assist their widows and
orphans; to maintain true allegiance to the Government of the United
States of America, and fidelity to its Constitution and laws; to foster
true patriotism; to maintain and extend the institutions of American
freedom, and to preserve and defend the United States from all her
enemies.
