On this day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address, at the consecration of the National Cemetery. In remembrance of the soldiers who gave "the last full measure of devotion" on the Battlefield at Gettysburg and all others lost to war, we share this moment with James Earl Jones from the 1997 Concert. #MemDayPBS #OTD #GettysburgAddress | National Memorial Day Concert (PBS)
