Alma Chapter 46
11 And now it came to pass that when
Moromi, who was the chief commander
of the armies of the Nephites, had heard
of these dissenssions, he was angry with
Amalickiah.
12 And it came to pass that he rend his coat; and he took apiece thereof, and wrote upon it
-- It memory of our God, Our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children--
and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.
13 And he fastened on his headplate, and his breastplate, and his shields, and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the title of liberty) and he bowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his god for the blessing of liberty to rest upon his brethren so long as there should a band a Christians remain to posses the land.
--
18 And he said: Surely God shall not suffer that we who are despised because we take upon us the name of Christ, shall
be trodden down and destroyed, until we bring it upon us by our own transgression.
19 And whhen Moroni had said these words, he went forth among the people, waving the rent part of his garment in the air, that all might see the writing which he had written upon the rent part, and crying with a loude voice, saying:
20 Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them.
21 And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, ending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God; or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, or fall into transgression, and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.
22 Now this was the covenant whcich they made, and they cast their garments at the feet of Moroni, saying: We covenant with our God, that we shall be destroyed, even as our brethren in the land northward, if we shall fall into transgression; yeah, he may cast us at the feet of our enemies, even as we have cast our garments at thy feet to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression.
23 Moroni said unto them: Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; yea, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coat wa rent by his brethren into many pieces; yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God, or our garments shall be rent by our brethren, and we be cast into prision, or be sold, or be slain.

What is my title of liberty. My Standard to the nations?
Love God will all your heart, might, mind and strength
Be true to God and to you
Never forget you are a Daughter of God and should be treated acordingly
Always treat others with respect and dignity
Love your neighbor
Enjoy life
Keep the commandments
One day when I find who I am looking for, I won't have to list off my standards, or think about making exceptions, because he will have the same ones.
