This is the monument in the center of the National Military Cemetary at Gettysburg, placed on or near the spot where Lincoln stood when he gave his "Gettysburg Address" at the dedication of the cemetary.

Surrounding this monument are concentric ring after concentric ring of stone markers, showing the burial place of soldiers from both sides of the conflict that perished on the battlefield and who could never be properly identified or claimed by their loved one.
