President Barack Obama has been invited by local lawmakers to deliver the 150th Gettysburg Address.

U.S. Sens. Bob Casey, D-Pa., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Dillsburg, sent a letter to the president, asking him to commemorate the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery on Nov. 19.

"Gettysburg National Military Park is an American treasure. It would mean a great deal to Pennsylvania and to the nation for you to deliver the keynote address on this significant day in our country's history," the letter said.
