Scripture

And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not. —3 Nephi 9:20

Quote

When we ponder that vast throng who have died honorable defending home and hearth, we contemplate those immortal words, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man ay down his life for his friends.” The feelings of heartfelt gratitude for the supreme sacrifice made by so many cannot be confined to a Memorial Day, a military parade, or a decorated grave. —Thomas S. Monson
