. . . Nevertheless they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God has made them free; and they are strict to remember the Lord their God from day to day; yea, they do observe to keep his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments continually; and their faith is strong in the prophecies concerning that which is to come. - Alma 58:40

"Teach your children decency and honor, cooperation and usefulness, tolerance, citizenship and patriotism," said Elder Boyd K. Packer of the Council of the Twelve at a patriotic fireside in Provo, Utah on June 25, 1989."Teach them to be good. Teach them to have a clear conscience. Then we will produce a generation who will know what to do and have the courage to do it."
