The Lincoln Awards is named in honor of President Abraham Lincoln, whose second inaugural address laid the groundwork for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs:
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
The Lincoln Awards was created by Michael Gyure, Michael B. Matuza, Cappy McGarr and Tommy Sowers. The program was produced by MBM Entertainment and Cappy Productions.
