Gen. George C. Marshall: I have a letter here, written a long time ago, to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston. So bear with me. "Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln."

We've always defined ourselves,
By the ability to overcome the impossible.
And we count these moments,
These moments when we dare to aim higher,
To break barriers,
To reach for the stars,
To make the unknown known.
We count these moments as our proudest achievements.
But we lost all that.
And perhaps we've just forgotten.
That we're still pioneers,
And that we've barely begun,
And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us,
That our destiny,
Lies above us.
