From X We Take Increased Devotion To Y

...It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us(;) that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion.


Does that mean we, the living, should show greater devotion to the cause than the honored dead did to the cause?

No, it means that our devotion to the cause should be inspired by their devotion, which was so great that they were willing to lay down their lives.
