This past week was the birthday of one of the greatest men in American history.  We can learn alot from great men and women in history.  There are probably not many people, nationally and globally, who have not heard the 16th US Presidents name.  Abraham Lincoln, February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865, was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 16th US President from March 1861 until his assassination in April,1865.  Lincoln led the United States through the US Civil War.  He preserved the Union, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.  The Lincoln memorial is a great place to visit in Washington, DC.  His most famous speech, The Gettysburg Address, is inscribed at the memorial.  Excerpts include,

..conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...

....and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

This coming week the US honors the Presidents with the Presidents Day Federal Holiday, February 20th.
