"...... that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

　Including the big tsunami caused directly after the giant earthquake, the total power of nature revealed nearly 30,000 victims in a short time. The survived victims of more than 100,000 are still now forced to be under the torture of losing their hope for living. The accident of the Fukushima nuclear plants made further attacks upon them, and aftershocks have been occurring even now. In such a case, the prospects are totally gloomy.

　I made this "Famous Speeches in the US" for my own English study. Therefore some Japanese comments and illustrative sentences of myself are added below each address of English. Even more, every address is with my reading in order to remember my reading ability at the time.

　The work was not a piece of cake, but it was productive to me.
First, each address with impressive spirits led me to the motivation of challenging.
Second, the relationship to that giant earthquake, just occurred during this work, somewhat pushed me from behind.

　I have come to think what I can do now is to complete this work, as, on the contrary, I have been encouraged by the people suffering a great deal of damage.
　As each of the addresses is at the risk of individual life, it is arousing sympathy from many in the audience. I really have the same spiritual elevation with them, and I would very much like to let the suffering people know my present feeling. How I wish these addresses will reach them in the future and become one of some sources of their vitality.
　It is why this work has been continuing with enthusiasm in the intervals of aftershocks since that giant quake. I added "Youth" by Samuel Ullman.
