What a concept right? A simple statement said by Abe Lincoln. what an iconic impact this President made with his ethics, politics and compassion for all men. He chose to treat and respect each person as a person. As we wind our way through another trip of history we find simple truths. I know in my heart I have always loved this quote.I know this.

 Why is being kind, sympathetic and thoughtful of others dwindling away with the years. I hope the words we read, the history we see and the truth we know has a way of reminding us of all we have to be grateful for and try to be an example to others. As we drive away from Springfield I feel a heaviness in my heart for the loss of this great man and ponder who he was and what he stood up for, I am proud to be American, grateful for all our freedoms. this picture is just a simple token a gentle reminder to three sweet souls to wear with pride and to be the kind of guide and example others will want to emulate.
WITH MALICE TOWARDS NONE AND CHARITY FOR ALL....

Onto another adventure... stay tuned for another post.
