Key of Liberty:
Must we give up some of our Rights to Maintain Freedom?
NO! It is a trick of Satan!
Rights make it so that we can have freedom. An example is this: say the people voted to allow the government to take away the right to have guns to reduce crime. Now only the police and the military have guns, right? No. Criminals can get guns through the black market. Then they can come into homes and we can’t defend ourselves! If we give our rights to the government then that will lead to bondage.
Heavenly Father’s agency lets us choose to do the right if we want to. It doesn’t mean that we can do whatever you want. It means we can choose the right or wrong. If a person lies, he chooses to do that. Then he feels trapped because he has to remember that, and that doesn’t feel free. If you feel like you aren’t free, you are probably suffering a consequence.
So we don’t really want to give up our rights because that will lead to chaos. We need to choose the right.
Shakespeare: a sonnet by William Shakespeare entitled
"William Shakespeare"
Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy "Will,"
And "Will" to boot, and "Will" in overplus;
More than enough am I that vex thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?
The sea, all water, yet receives rain still
And in abundance addeth to his shore;
So thou, being rich in "Will," add to thy "Will"
One will of mine, to make thy large "Will" more.
Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill;
Think all but one, and me in that one "Will."

Why American Veterans Should be Honored
Our veterans are and should continue to be honored in many ways. They have shown great courage in serious situations, putting their course of freedom and country above themselves. They fought wars, past and present for the freedom of the American people, risking their lives. They should be recognized for this.
Our veterans were not quitters. They would not abandon their fellow soldiers in battle even though they wondered if they would see their families again, or if this would be their last moment of life. They were brave, courageous, and strong. They fought because it was their duty. They fought for their country. They fought for the freedom of America. Some have had friends that laid down their life for them. This sacrifice is a good example of the following scripture: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (St. John 15: 13).
Our veterans would be prouder if we were braver and stronger. We fight our own battles in our personal lives everyday, and it is all around us when we step out of our doorways. You need to make your own choices about what to do. If our country were stronger, our veterans would feel much more proud about the service they have given.
Some ways that I can honor our veterans is that I can put our flag up on Veterans Day. I can ask veterans about experiences and ask them to tell me stories. I can spend time with them. I don’t have any living veterans in our family. I should see if there are any veterans around my neighborhood.
Courageous. Brave. Responsible. Duty. Honor. Freedom. Good men and women. These words describe our veterans. They need to be honored because they fought and didn’t quit. We respect them because they fought for our freedom that we enjoy today. They should be proud about their service to our country. They have had a “Greater love” for their brother. They have had a greater love for our country. They love our country and would give their life for our country. They should continue to be honored by every American. I love our veterans.
