MEDIA ALERT – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Elks Lodges Nationwide to Celebrate Flag Day

Chicago, IL – June 14, 2026 – As the nation celebrates America 250, thousands of Americans will gather at Elks Lodges across the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Panama Canal Zone to honor Flag Day, continuing one of the country’s oldest and most distinguished patriotic traditions.

Long before Flag Day became an official federal observance, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was honoring the American flag. In 1908, the Elks Grand Lodge formally established June 14 as Flag Day, making the Elks the only fraternal organization in the nation that mandates an annual formal Flag Day ceremony in every Lodge.

The Elks’ unwavering commitment to patriotism helped elevate Flag Day into the national spotlight. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day, and in 1949, President Harry S. Truman—an Elks member from Independence, Missouri—signed legislation permanently recognizing it as a national observance.

As America marks its 250th anniversary, the Elks continue to stand among the nation’s leading forces for patriotism, charity, and community service. For 158 years, Elks members have strengthened communities and supported the nation through service and generosity, contributing more than $15 billion in charitable donations nationwide.

In 2025 alone, Elks members donated an estimated $550 million in cash, goods, and volunteer service supporting veterans, youth programs, scholarships, food initiatives, and critical local community needs.

With 1,841 Lodges and 800,000 members nationwide, the Elks continue to promote American values, civic pride, and love of country in communities large and small.

“During America’s 250th anniversary year, Flag Day carries even greater meaning,” said Elks officials. “It is a celebration of our nation’s history, our freedoms, and the enduring unity symbolized by the American flag.”

Communities are encouraged to attend local Elks Flag Day ceremonies and experience a patriotic tradition that has inspired generations of Americans for more than a century.

On Saturday St. Saint Cloud Elks Lodge #2843 members did a couple of community projects.

Started out bright and early at the North Star Cemetery to place flags for Memorial Day then a few of those Elks headed over to the Coborns Cancer Center where they cleaned and polished the ribbon donated by our lodge.

We even had a deer drop by the cemetery to watch for a bit.
