Memorial Day
Gen. Logan’s (according to my research online, Logan was a Master Mason from Illinois, having been raised in Mitchell Lodge No. 85 in Pinckneyville, Illinois) order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 are as poignant today as they must have been hundreds of years ago: “with the choicest flowers of springtime, We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. … Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people, the cost of a free and undivided republic.”
So from all of the Midnight Freemasons to every Service Member, past & present, Thank You and may the Supreme Architect of the Universe forever be your guiding light, in this life and the next. We would also like to take a moment to acknowledge the families of all the service members for the sacrifices that they make on a daily basis while their loved ones are off defending our freedoms here at home.
To those whom have paid the ultimate sacrifice, Thank You and may you rest well. We have it from here.

From Bro. Pete Stokke Jr., get ready to March!

Why we remember.

No marching for these brothers…

Calverton, MWV Post 23 combined forces with the BPO Elks to post the colors.

Posting the colors with the Elks, it was nice of them to ask me to join them.
