Both the House and Senate had ceremonies today honoring Abraham Lincoln on what Skip Critrell, who dressed as Lincoln and delivered his Second Inaugural Address, noted would have been the 16th president’s 199th birthday. Lincoln fans are gearing up for the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth, which falls on this day next year. In his address, Lincoln urged the people of the United States to “do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
