Lincoln Memorial dedication plaque.  It reads: The Federal Union of the states at the heart of Lincoln's purpose is symbolized in his memorial by 36 columns beneath the names of the 36 states composing the union in his lifetime.  When the memorial was designed, the Union included the 48 states named on the attic frieze.  A generation later - in 1959 - Alaska and Hawaii attained statehood fully joining their destinies with the United States of America.  E Pluribus Unum.
