Earlier in school this week, my classmates and I all had to recite the Gettysburg Address in front of everybody for a grade. Well we did that, and now we need to choose a speech on our own and then we will recite it in a few weeks. The speech I chose was "Tribute to the Dog" by George Graham Vest.
Here's a link to it.
