What an awesome narrative. Thank you, you made it come alive.

Doug Douds you are amazing thank you!

Outstanding! Should be played in every school in America!! 5/5!!

That was Awesome!! You gave me goosebumps! Very enjoyable listening to you! Thank you!! 👏👏👏

A wonderful video that captures the spirit of that day

Doug Douds managed in this short video to capture the essence of this hallowed ground. This was a tour de force of concision that would make Lincoln himself proud.

One of the best videos on Gettysburg and The Address!

Excellent. Thank you for explaining, and reminding us who we aspire to be. Our work in progress.

This man has infectious energy. Great Job Sir.

What a narrative. A great storyteller. He had me captivated.

That lecture was wonderful! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!

The fact that there's trees still standing that were there at the battle is awesome

In every way that I could possibly think of - this was an outstanding video... Really needs to be shared with the generation of today...

Not long after awakening this morning, when checking the calendar for today's date, was there a moment when November 19th caused me to pause. Having recognized it was the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, I wondered just how many Americans would follow in my realization. Doug Douds has offered a beautiful memorial to this day and what it stands for, but I must also acknowledge the breathtaking comments in response to this video by those that I am honored to share in this moment of genuine humanity. Thank you all, and stay safe.

This video is amazing, hope this gentleman makes more videos

Outstanding job Mr.Douds

I’ve just watched this from the UK, may I say this is a brilliant video. I was enthralled from the outset!

Just back from the Army War College where I had the honor of hearing Col. Douds (USMC Ret) speak on time and its use in strategy. He is among the most captivating lecturers I have witnessed. Later in the week, we would take a staff ride at Gettysburg only to drive past Col. Douds house situated serenely overlooking a battlefield. This man clearly lives his passion and we are the better for learning from his collective expertise.

Bravo, Mr. Douds. What an excellent summary of Lincoln's speech. Very inspiring.

Just discovered this awesome channel and this phenomenal video. Better late than never.

What a fantastic video - not only the explanation of how the cemetery came to be, the story of it. But the way he reminds us of how Lincoln in the midst of the war told us what it is to be American. I was moved by Doug's story today. Thank you.

Amazing video and great commentary on the documents that shaped our nation!

That was extremely well presented, fantastic!!!

Best summation of the address i have seen. He nails it.

This was probably the greatest thing that I have ever seen on KZfaq...great job sir...wonderful job!

I think Doug might have given Lincoln a run for his money with his oratory skills! Impressive, informative, and much enjoyed.

Well done Sir!! Thank you. Mark from Milwaukee.

Wow. This gave me chills. You sir… did an outstanding job with this video.

Brilliant presentation my friend! Bravo!!

If I would of only knew he was there. I would of came an watched it in person. Great video.

Doug Douds did a beautiful job of putting the core values of this country in a cemetery tour that would move anyone who loves this country. At a time of division and hatred when Americans are turning on each other for no valid reason everyone needed to be reminded of these values. Thank you Doug.🇺🇸🆓

Well done Marine! Spoken with excellent narrative. This "Doc" (4th Marines) is very envious of your responsibility. To be able to convey the true message of that location, that was done in only 2 minutes, shows you to be a Marine that does their responsibility proud. Take care, Be Safe, an Semper Fi!

I'm glad to finally see a video devoted to your beautiful parsing of the Address, Doug! Thank you!

The address is a remarkable document - while certainly a union speech - at no point does he mention north or south or ideologies - he makes it an AMERICAN speech - in the midst of war - REMARKABLE.

WOW!! If we could travel back to November 19, 1863…I’d cast MY vote for Mr. Douds to deliver the ONLY speech that would have been necessary!! Bravo sir!! Bravo!! Mesmerized I was and clinging to your every word!!!

Congratulations on a superb presentation. Much appreciated, many thanks, Roland UK

Wow, great job. This is the way history deserves to be told. More videos like this, please!

Another fantastic lecture by Doug Douds! One of my War College cohort instructors, Doug had and has an amazing ability to draw the learner in and embrace what he has to teach. Anyone who hears him speak will recognize a true American patriot and I am proud to have served with him and call him a friend. Well done! Makes me want to visit those hallowed grounds once again...

This is incredible!!! Very inspirational!!! Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful fantastic vedio.thank you Sir 🎉

“…Government of, by and for the people. If it doesn’t stay here... “. and the sun shines upon him. And I got chills.

Great presentation. Was recently as Gettysburg, but didnt get a chance to go on the cemetery, definitely gonna have to the next time.

Marvellous presentation, sir!

Thank you. Great presentation based upon historical facts.

Today I didn't expect to be brought to tears by a KZfaq video. Yet, here I sit, in awe of the greatness of Lincoln and the values he espoused. In awe of the greatest sacrifice given by so many to preserve us a nation. Thank you for making and sharing this video.

Great video! This was informative and insightful. Lincoln was a great man. We need him today.

Been there a hundred times - always evocative - good place to just sit and meditate.

Remarkable, Doug. Thank you for sharing.

Doug, your words were motivating and inspirational. You summarized this great event perfectly and I agree that these documents you cited show us as we want to be, not always as we are.

Wonderful. Thank you sir

Outstanding video. Many thanks for this entertaining video.

These are stunningly powerful comments and an excellent summation of these events. Congratulations Mr. Douds and thank you!

Thank you. Well done.

Brilliantly done

great full , shared awesome!

This man is amazing! Well done, sir!

Stunning and well done!

Great presentation.

Thank you Doug that was awesome .

Beautifully made video!

13:14 of concise, perfectly clear information on a place and event everyone should visit and know. ABT you are a gift to us all, well done.

Lincoln was so fast with the speech that only one picture was taken of it and it is of him going back to his seat. He said; " That speech'll never scour," He thought it was bad.

That was…wow! Outstanding job Doug. Thank you for this!

Outstanding video, sir! Semper fi!

Outstanding presentation .

Great job. Thank you so much

Superb. Required viewing for all Americans

Great tour, I'm glad that I was able to visit the cemetery last year. Thank you Doug.

Totally relevant - always inspiring

More with Doug Douds and Gary Gallagher please and thank you!

This was great! Really enjoyed this video. We went to Gettysburg over a year ago. We walked this cemetery. TFS!

Awesome or should I say awe struck. Great job!

Outstanding video and narrative!! We are planning a trip to Gettysburg next April and your video was right on time.

FDR's Four Freedom's and MLK are brilliant additions!!! Doug Douds is an effing Genius!!! We have to become what Lincoln wants us to be - or coming down from the trees and becoming humans was a wrong turn on the pathway of evolution. We have to realize our potential for human flourishing by developing egalitarian and democratic institutions in the economy, kinsystem, state, and culture. There will still be necessary hierarchies, (adults over children, technical expertise in div of lab) but they will be transparent, democratically accountable, and consciously as few as are genuinely necessary for some demonstrable social good. it is also the only way to humanely navigate the coming climate change catastrophe. We are in for some genuinely rough times. Our best hope is some kind of benevolent military bonapartism. I wish it was the working class in workplace councils, neighborhood councils and control over the traditional state. But, I think it will be the military that ends up stepping in to the keep the far-right from seizing power.

A wonderful Video. Thank you

Thank you!

Very well said…..

Fantastic video. I was there (again) last July. I'm sure I walked right by this spot and never knew it....

Timeless words that are just as true and just today.

Listen carefully to him at 12:04. "It starts with enduring values and beliefs". This is the nucleus of the political problems today. We used to be a unified nation sharing the same values. Now we have become a house divided, with those of my stripe looking to the founding documents for our values, and others who are trying to tear it all down and fundamentally change America. I sincerely hope that because you are here watching this video you stand with me against the rise of socialist tyranny. The men who died over 150 years ago to preserve our union are owed so much from us even now. I will preserve the memory of their sacrifice and hold this union dear.

Loved the video and narration.

Superb telling

Superb

Nice comment on the "sum total" of who we are. I'll look those up again--pretty familiar with three of the five

Thank you! Great presentation. You yourself are an awesome speaker. Your energy amplifies the words, and as far as time travel you take us back to 1863. Thank you

Very informative and well explained. Very good indeed, thank you.

Wow!

Wow. 👏👏👏👏

This man says a beautiful thing at about 12:18

Great Documentary but not enough info on "where exactly did Lincoln stand or the platform site for this Immortal Speech! Find it hard to believe there is such confusion,uncertainty or lack of a Memorial Marker for such a momentous event!

Words so fitting in this the second year of the Great Pandemic as we split apart once again.

Not bad, Doug. Not bad at all!

truly less can be more

What cemetery is that shown at 2:02 minutes in?

E eu vou. Mora aonde ?

Unfortunately you didn’t answer the question, where was he when he gave the speech.

Jesus Christmas.... everything but the location of the address

He should have added that after the battle there were also many dead horse corpses. The stench must have been awful!

Tem muita gente querendo me mata aí tem medo

Mar A Lago!
