The lost presidential speech made at the Gettysburg Address anniversary

[Dark Knight]

It was 50 years ago today that a former president appeared and spoke to a large crowd at Gettysburg. But Dwight Eisenhower’s speech from November 19, 1963 has been lost in history as a nation was consumed by shocking news three days after it was made.

Heard this yesterday on the radio.

Wednesday marks the 140th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Actor Sam Waterston reads the speech, which was written to commemorate the Union soldiers killed in the Civil War.
