I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln

"It is not the years in your life that count. It is the life in your years". Brother, you have joined a long list of the most honorable Americans that have given the ultimate sacrifice to provide justice for this great nation. Too few will appreciate the selfless gift you have given. I pray that your family can find comfort knowing their son, brother, husband, and father died a hero. Please watch over us as we continue the fight. Bless you and all whose lives you touched.
