“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. 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 gave the last full measure of devotion.”

– President Abraham Lincoln, on the Battlefield at Gettysburg

"...the law is the thread that holds the tapestry of this country together. It is the most unifying, equalizing force that we have. It makes the rich respect the poor.

–    Congressmen Trey Gowdy, Representative from South—Carolina

“Along with our gallant sailors, soldiers, airmen, and airwomen, members of law enforcement and the intelligence agencies are the very heart and soul of the people and the spirit of all nations. The (predominantly overlooked) significance of their contributions and sacrifices is an attestation to their indomitable spirit that should weigh heavily on our collective consciousness.

“Indeed, the sacrifices and contributions made by our veterans and members of the military, law enforcement and intelligence communities form the very bedrock on which our democratic institutions are built, and provides us with the freedoms so many of us take for granted today.”

–    Mr. Stéphane Ouellette, President & CEO, MNCTP
