My daughter recited that in first grade for Talent Day.
She did a great job - with good emotion.
I am teaching my four young homeschooled children to memorize it now also. We’re studying Lincoln and the Civil War. It’s only 11 sentences. They’ll do just fine.
My second great grand uncle, George Bosworth fought and died at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. He was part of the 76th NYSV Co. H. He was 23 years old when he died. I found this out when I started doing my family tree. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that our nation could be free....makes me quite proud to know that.
