In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln says: “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.” and, “…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion…” In other words, Lincoln is saying the Americans need to dedicate themselves to cleaning up the mess of the war and finishing what the soldiers started. Similarly, Clinton quotes in his speech, “…you must try to pay tribute to your loved ones by continuing to do all the things they left undone, thus ensuring they did not die in vain...” Clinton is illustrating the same message of “finishing what ‘they’ started” and not letting people die in
