A reflection offered to our members in remembrance of those who gave their lives in service to our nation.

As we observe Memorial Day, we do so in a spirit not of celebration, but of solemn remembrance. We are called to honor duty, esteem sacrifice, and preserve with reverence the memory of those who laid down their lives in the service of our nation. In that spirit, we symbolically place the sprig of acacia beside the graves of the fallen, mindful that the liberties we enjoy were secured through their courage and devotion.

Freemasonry’s association with Memorial Day is closely linked to Brother John A. Logan, whose leadership helped establish this holiday as a national tradition. Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day was formally inaugurated in 1868 when Brother Logan, serving as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued General Order No. 11 designating a day to honor those who died in the Civil War. In that order, he called upon the nation to decorate the graves of the fallen with “the choicest flowers of springtime,” thereby establishing a custom that has endured through the generations.

On this Memorial Day, we honor the memory of our departed Brethren and of all men and women who gave their lives in defense of freedom and in faithful service to their country.

We remember them as Masons have long remembered the departed: with solemn dignity, heartfelt gratitude, and the enduring symbol of the sprig of acacia, which reminds us that while mortal life passes, the spirit endures.

May the example of their sacrifice inspire each of us to live with integrity, act with justice, and serve our communities with the same steadfast devotion they rendered to our nation.

So mote it be.
