On Monday, May 27, 2013, we will celebrate Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is a day that is set aside to remember and honor the brave men and women presently serving in the United States Armed Forces worldwide. But, more importantly, it is a day that is set aside to commemorate those valiant men and women who have served our great nation, and in many cases, have given their lives to protect the freedoms that we so dearly cherish. They are all true American heroes.

As a 30 year retired United States Navy veteran, I humbly and proudly salute the brave men and women who daily put their lives on the line so that we can continue to be the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Every flag draped coffin that arrives in a hometown carrying the body of a fallen soldier is a constant reminder to me that freedom is not free. The freedoms that we so enjoy often come with a hefty price tag -- that price tag often being the spilled blood of a close friend or loved one who unselfishly fought to help keep freedom alive.

As we celebrate this Memorial Day let us pause to say a prayer for the continual safety and well being of our men and women of the Armed Forces. May God bless each of them and may God bless the United States of America.

My Mission Statement
My Mission Statement
1 Peter 3:13-17

13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

The Joseph Smith Papers
The Joseph Smith Papers

On February 25th, 2008, the Church announced the establishment of a new imprint for publishing works that relate to the origin and growth of the Church.

The first project by the Church Historian's Press is The Joseph Smith Papers. This comprehensive series of journals, letters, legal documents, and business papers chronicles the life of Joseph Smith. When finished, this project will include more than 30 volumes.

The first three volumes are scheduled for publication later this year and will include Joseph Smith's early journals.

In time, the published volumes are expected to be made available in their entirety through the Web site Joseph Smith Papers.
