If Freedom and Liberty is to be preserved, it will not be by doubters, therefore, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support and friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty. From these honored dead, we take increase dedication to that cause for which they gave their last measure of devotion. Therefore, we highly resolve that these shall not have died in vain.
