I would suggest everyone read Pericles funeral oration. It was given at the funeral of Athenian soldiers killed in battle.
I have read that it is considered the greatest speech ever.
It is indeed a superb speech - even though it’s far too complex for the Cretin-in-Chief, our lead Loon, our dictating dufus, to read aloud, let alone understand.
I still pick Lincoln’s Gettysburg address as the most succinct and moving tribute that I believe I’ll ever read.
