President Franklin D. Roosevelt on July 3, 1938. The dedication of the memorial was the highlight of four days of activities commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the battle in 1938. In 1938, at the last great reunion of the Blue and the Gray at Gettysburg, a small group of veterans from Virginia and Pennsylvania met near the Angle. As cameras rolled and clicked, the old gentlemen shook hands over the stone wall where General Hays' Division stood on July 3, 1863.

SPEECH
Avoiding war we seek our ends through the peaceful process of popular government under the constitution.
Address at the dedication of the memorial on the Gettysburg battlefield Gettysburg,PA July 3, 1938.
1)on behalf of the peopl of the United States I accept this monument in the spirit of brotherhood and peace.
2)Imortal deeds and imortal words have created here at Gettysburg a shame of american patriotism. We are encompossed by the last full measure of devotion of many men and by the words in which Abraham Lincoln expressed the simple faith for which they die.
3)It seldom helps to wonder how statesman of one generation would surmount the crisis of another. Astatesmen deals with concrete difficulties with things which must be done from day to day not often can he frame coonscious patterns for the far off future.
4)But the fullnessof the statue of Lincoln's natureand the fundamental conflict which focused upon his presidency invite us eveer to turn to him for help.
5)For the issue which he stated here at Gettysburg seventy-five years ago will be the continuing issue before this nation for as long as we cling to the purposes for which the nation was founded to preserve under the changing conditions of each generation a people's governmentfor the people's good.
6)The task assumes different shapes at different times sometimes the threat to popular government comes from political interests sometimes we have to beat off all of them together.
7)But the challenge is always the same whether each generation its own circumstances can summon the practical devotion to attain and retain that greatest good for the greatest number which this government of the people was created to ensure.
8)Lincoln spoke in solace for all who fought upon this field the years have laid their balm upon their wounds men who worre the blue and men who wore the gray are here together. Afragmentspared by time. They are brought here by the memories of old divided loyalties but they meet here in united loyalty to a united cause which the unfolding years have made it easier to see.
9)All of them we honor not asking under which flag they fought then thankful that they stand together under on flag now.
10)Lincoln was commander in chief in this old battle he wanted above all things to be commander in chief of the new peace the .He understood that battle there must be that when challengeto government is thrown down the people must in self defense take it up that the fight must be fought through to a decision is clear that it is accepted as being beyond recall.
11)But Lincoln also understood that after such a decision a democracy should seek peace through a new unity for democracy can keep alive only if the settlement of old difficulties the ground and transfers energies to face new responsibilities never can it have as much ability and purpose as it needs in that striving the end of battle does not end the infinity of those needs.
12)That is why Lincoln commander of a people as well as of our army ahead that his battle end with malice toward none with charity for all.
13)To the jurt of those who come after him Lincoln's plea was long denied a generation possed before the new unity became and accepted fact.
14)In later years new needs arose and with there new tasks worldwide in there perplexities there bitterness and there modes of strife there in our land we give thanks that avoiding war we seek our ends through the peaceful process of popular government under the constitution
15)It is another conflict a conflict as fundamental as Lincoln's fought not with glint of steel but with appeals to reson and justice on a thousand fronts seeking to save our common country opportunity and security for citizens in a free society.
16)We are near to winning this battle in its winning and through the years may we live by the wisdom and the humanity of the heart of Abraham Lincoln.
