One Rhetorical Device used was Allusion by saying, "On this hallowed ground, heroic deeds were performed and eloquent words were spoken a century ago." He was referring to:

His tone had heavy emphases and long pauses, that helped to enhance the seriousness of his topic. Slow and steady with longer pauses.
