Today I am thinking of Mormon and his title of Liberty Alma 46:12 And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—aIn memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.
13 And he fastened on his head-plate, and hisabreastplate, and his shields, and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the btitle of liberty) and he cbowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of dChristians remain to possess the land-
I am also thinking of Brigham Young who was very patriotic and encouraged the early church members to be patriotic also. I am proud to be an American and I know it is by the grace of God and the sacrifice of other that I live her so happy, safe and free.
We live in a great country, a country that was guided from the beginning by God, and has been protected from the beginning by those who knew that freedom does not come free. Today I thank all those who have sacrificed, even unto the giving of their lives, so that I can be free to enjoy my family, life, worship God, and have so many privileges. I thank you for working so hard and giving so much so that my children can be free and safe. Thank you!
