Along with millions of my fellow American citizens, I served in the U.S. military, as did my brother and father, grandfather, and so on. Memorial Day is one of the most important observances we can have.

On Memorial Day, I think of the words of captain Moroni when he explained his objectives:

I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country.

(Alma 60:36)
