Alma 46

"And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—In 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" (Alma 46:12).

This should also be our standard. We should also live in such a way that supports our country and righteousness. We should be great citizens of the country we live in.

President Ezra Taft Benson said:

“Improve your community by active participation and service. Remember in your civic responsibility that ‘the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing’ (Edmund Burke). . . . Do something meaningful in defense of your God-given freedom and liberty” ("To the Single Adult Brethren of the Church").


President Benson also taught:
“This is our need today—to plant the standard of liberty among our people throughout the Americas. (in Conference Report, Oct. 1962, 14–15).
