“That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” ....wise words permanently inscribed forever on the Lincoln Memorial The Lincoln Memorial The Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln Memorial stands surrounded by a peristyle of 38 fluted columns, one for each of the thirty six states in the union at the time of Lincoln’s death and two columns in-antis at the entrance behind the colonnade. As an enduring symbol of freedom, the Lincoln Memorial attracts anyone who seeks inspiration and hope. Lincoln’s words on his memorial exclaim “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” It is not scripture, but they are wise words from a president who obviously loved and respected the one true God we serve. The Lincoln Memorial is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument. urbansplatter
