#2 And those who died even before they could reach the end of bayonet. Died in training accidents (with aircraft that garnered nick names like widow maker), succumbed to environments rife with disease and pestilence, and just everyday accidents but in the line of duty.

#6 Powerful words indeed:

It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. - A. Lincoln

The price has been paid for us. Our work is unfinished.
