QUOTE OF THE DAY
Thomas S. Monson
"When we ponder that vast throng who have died honorably defending home and hearth, . . . 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" ("An Attitude of Gratitude," Ensign, April 1992).

Their destination was nearly 300 miles away, but it seemed like the only place they'd find safety.
1857 - United States President James Buchanan instructs the War Department to issue orders for an army to assemble at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and march to Utah to put down the so-called "rebellion" of the Mormons. This was the beginning of the "Utah War" which later became known as "Buchanan's Blunder."
