As Veteran’s Day approaches, we at Uplift express gratitude to all those who have served in the various branches of the US military. How blessed we are to live in a nation where brave men and women are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our freedom! Words are not big enough to convey how fortunate we are. We salute you, valiant veterans.

“I marvel at the miracle of America, the land which the God of Heaven long ago declared to be a land choice above all other lands.”
“I love America for her great and brawny strength. I love her for her generous heart. I love her for her tremendous spiritual strengths. She is unique among the nations of the earth – in her discovery, in her birth as a nation, in the amalgamation of the races that have come to her shores, in the strength of her government, in the goodness of her people.”
“God bless America, for she is His creation.” – Gordon B. Hinckley

I’d rather be dead than to lose my liberty. I have no fear we’ll ever lose it because of invasion from the outside. But I do have fear that it may slip away from us because of our own indifference, our own negligence, as citizens of this land.
We worship Him, grateful for our freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and our God–given right of agency. – Robert D. Hales
All of us can be involved by making certain the light of freedom burns brightly within our own souls. – L. Tom Perry
