Today we honor more than the first President of the United States. We honor a Brother.

Initiated in 1752 at Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4, George Washington carried the principles of Freemasonry into every chapter of his life. Integrity. Restraint. Leadership rooted in service, not ego.

He laid the cornerstone of our nation and, quite literally, the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol in full Masonic regalia. He understood that true leadership is built on character before power.

On this Presidents’ Day, we reflect on the timeless virtues he exemplified
• Duty before self
• Faith in Providence
• Brotherhood across differences
• Steadfast moral courage

May we, as Masons, strive to lead in our homes, our lodges, and our communities with the same steady hand and upright heart.

Happy Presidents’ Day from your Brothers in Masonry. 🇺🇸🔷
