Nov. 21, 2014 - FF - Gettysburg Tweet

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY is a tribute to the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, PA.  It came four and a half months after the Union defeated the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg.

When I was in school, we could memorize all 272 words of the Gettysburg Address for extra credit. Unfortunately, the attention span of today's youth is 180 characters.
