Not sure what to say?

Hello General Jordan, On 05/25/2024, I wondered what you'd have done differently this time if you were a young cadet when Pres. Biden visited West Point. Fortunately, I got a message: in other faith communities, you share the gospel through earthly recognition of religious marriage. "Doctrine and Covenants 138:30 But behold, from among the righteous, he organized his forces and appointed messengers, clothed with power and authority, and commissioned them to go forth and carry the light of...
