What started out as a road trip with a clear beginning and end…has turned into a lifelong mission to inspire others and spread Lincoln’s message.



About the Trip

"The Capitols were beautiful…but the people were amazing!"

What started out as a patriotic pilgrimage for "Love of Country" turned into a lifelong mission to inspire others and to honor our veterans by helping America recommit to Lincoln's core values and those of our nation: God, Unity, Liberty, and Patriotism.

It was a historic and record-breaking trip that was at times both harrowing and humbling! But more importantly, the 50 Capitols trip revealed the inherent goodness and kindness of Americans coast to coast and gives us all hope.

Rare Video Honors Lincoln and Veterans

vidoe-2vidoe-2-hover

Here is a patriotic (4 min.) video to memorialize Lincoln’s message and the only time the Gettysburg Address was ever recited at 50 State Capitols in 50 Days (actually 44)! Abraham Lincoln was asked to say a "few appropriate remarks" to memorialize the soldiers and - in just 272 words - he united and inspired a nation with the most patriotic speech in American history!
