Honoring Our Veterans

by Your Veterans Committee

In recognition of the debt of gratitude we owe to those who have honorably served our nation, Supreme Council is developing a new Scottish Rite Veterans Recognition Program, including a sample meeting itinerary to honor both Masonic Brethren and non-Masons who have served in the armed forces. That’s right. The Veterans Recognition Program will not be only for Freemasons. It will honor all the veterans in your area and will give your Valley a chance to open its doors to the community at large.

Supreme Council will provide a template, but if you would like to customize your program, talk to veterans in your Valley. There may be several Brethren willing to speak on their time in the service or on being a veteran today. Whatever you do, make

it unique. Make it memorable. Make it personal. Show those who served that the Scottish Rite is grateful.

We plan to have the Scottish Rite Veterans Recognition Program ready for Veterans Day this November, and we are asking each of you for your assistance in making this distinct program meaningful and unforgettable for our veterans.

ALL GAVE SOME, AND SOME GAVE ALL.
