As our nation prepares to commemorate America’s 250th Anniversary, we pause today to honor the Stars and Stripes—the enduring symbol of the freedoms, ideals, and sacrifices that have shaped our Republic for nearly two and a half centuries.
For 250 years, generations of Americans have worked to build a nation founded upon liberty, equality, and self-government. As Masons, we are proud that many of the principles we cherish—brotherhood, civic virtue, personal responsibility, and service to others—have helped strengthen the communities and institutions that make our nation great.
On this Flag Day, let us remember those who have defended our flag, reflect upon the blessings of citizenship, and recommit ourselves to leaving a stronger country for the generations that will follow us into America’s next century.
May Old Glory continue to inspire unity, hope, and opportunity as we approach America 250.
