Captain Moroni and the TITLE OF LIBERTY
One of my absolute favorite lines in the scriptures was
declared by Captain Moroni:
"In memory of our God, our religion,
and freedom, and our peace,
our wives, and our children!"
We have fought for our "RIGHT to CHOOSE"
long before we came here...
Many a man/woman pledged their
"Sacred Honor"
like our Founding Fathers when they declared their
their "Independence":
"...and for the support of this Declaration,
with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other
OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, and our
SACRED HONOR."
Declaration of Independence
4 July 1776
However, FREEDOM, unfortunately, comes with a price and often, the choicest blood from each generation...is given...
In Declaring our Independence
John Adams had this to say:
I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states. Yet through all the gloom I see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth all the means. This is our day of deliverance. --- John Adams (1735–1826)
This Nation's DIVINE MANDATE:
“America was discovered, colonized, and made into a great nation so that the Lord would have a proper place both to restore the gospel and from which to send it forth to all other nations. As a prelude to his coming, and so the promised work of restoration would roll forward, the foundations of the American nation were laid. --- Bruce R. McConkie
The spirit of patriotism were often engulfed in songs like this:
"Over There" - Written by: George M. Cohan
THANK YOU to all those family members who
sacrificed TIME with their loved ones...
My oldest son's family - awaiting the arrival
of our son, Joshua, from Iraq
Seeing and being with their daddy after months away from home...
Long awaited and safe arrival...
One of the twins - not quite certain...
May we REMEMBER all our Veterans, today...
and especially PRAY EVERY DAY
for their safety and DAILY express our
GRATITUDE...
