Mr. President. on this. the 24th of July. we commemorate and celebrate the immigration of a small group of Mormon pioneers into Utahs Salt Lake Valley. 139 years ago. these pioneers traveled on foot. by cart and by horse from Illinois to Utah over a period of 3 months. Today we cover the same distance in less than 3 hours by airplane. Fleeing persecution and carrying all their possessions In covered wagons or handcarts. these people sought refuge to live peacefully and worship God according to their own beliefs. They found such a haven in areas that later became Utah and Idaho.
