On behalf of the leadership and every member of the National Supreme Council and the National Grand Chapter, we extend our deepest, most profound gratitude to our extraordinary veterans.
Today, and every day, we pause to honor the men and women within our ranks who answered the call of duty and served our nation with courage, dedication, and unwavering patriotism. Your service in the United States Armed Forces—whether in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or Space Force—is a testament to the highest ideals of sacrifice and commitment.
The Dual Legacy of Service
Within our organization, we are privileged to witness a unique and powerful dual legacy:
- Your Service to Country: You defended the freedoms we cherish, ensuring the security and liberty of our nation, often facing hardship and danger far from home. This is a sacrifice that defines a lifetime.
- Your Service to Our Brotherhood/Sisterhood: Having completed your military service, you brought that same discipline, leadership, and sense of duty into the fabric of the National Supreme Council and National Grand Chapter. You continue to serve by building stronger communities, mentoring new leaders, and upholding the timeless principles that bind us together.
Your military training instilled in you qualities we see reflected every day in your contributions to our organization: integrity, resilience, teamwork, and an unshakeable dedication to a mission greater than self.
A Message from Our Heart
To our members who are veterans:
- Thank you for the moments of peace and security you provided through your vigilance.
- Thank you for the silent sacrifices made by you and your families.
- Thank you for bringing the values of honor and selfless service into every meeting, every initiative, and every act of charity within our chapters.
You are the standard-bearers of courage, and your commitment inspires us all.
Let us never forget the price of freedom. Let us continue to support our veterans and their families as they transition and thrive in civilian life.
To our Veterans: We salute you. We honor you. We are eternally grateful to have you as cornerstones of our noble organizations.
God Bless You, and God Bless America.
