]]> Brooks Brothers created a coat for Lincoln. Lincoln asked that they embroider a large eagle and the wording: One Country, One Destiny so that that symbol and those words would be against his skin at all times. Seeing this coat with the visible blood stains across the embroidered eagle was the most powerful moment for me in my visit last week to Washington D.C. It was a reminder of my favorite president, his incredible convictions, his life, and his tragic death. It was also an amazing illustration of a structure. A structure is a tool used by someone as a reminder of something that is important, a goal, a vision, an action step (like tying a ribbon around a tree, or a string around a finger, or carrying a trinket in your pocket, or a sticky note on your mirror, etc). Leave it to Lincoln to have such a inspiring, moving, visionary structure.
