Speaking of “our personal pledge to duty, honor, country,” President Thomas S. Monson told some 19,000 people at a patriotic service on June 28 that those words were “our watchwords, whether in war or peace.”….Quoting Gen. Robert E. Lee of Civil War fame, President Monson said, ” ‘Duty is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less.’” He also quoted Harry Emerson Fosdick, a renowned Protestant minister and speaker, saying, “‘ Duty is never worthily performed until it is done by one who would gladly do more if he could.’”
So if your husband asks why you are spending your extra time, effort and money on this little patriotic craft swap you can sweetly reply,
" i am doing my duty to honor and celebrate this country and sustain our leaders and i just wish that there was more that i could do"
now off to find some more quotes...i wonder if any of the church leaders said anything about supporting your local target? :0)
