Fraters, Loyal Ladies and Friends:

On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. As members of the Prince Hall Scottish Rite family, we understand that liberty is never free; it is bought with a price.

Today, we look back with deep gratitude at the heroes who stood in the gap for our nation. We remember the trailblazers, the members of our communities and our own Masonic brothers who answered the call of duty, never to return. Their bravery is the foundation upon which our daily peace is built.

We are reminded of the sacred wisdom in Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. " The legendary giants of our history did not walk alone; they sharpened the resolve, character and courage of everyone around them, forging a legacy that time cannot erode.

In a special way, we call to remembrance our fallen brother, Navy Information Systems Technician First Class Johnnie L. Doctor Jr.. A dedicated 14-year veteran and Prince Hall Mason, Brother Doctor made the ultimate sacrifice at the age of 32 at the Pentagon during the tragic events of September 11, 2001. His selfless service, love for his country and dedication to our fraternity serve as a powerful beacon of what it means to give "the last full measure of devotion."

We also honor the monumental legacy of Brigadier General Roscoe C. Cartwright, 33°, a giant in both our military history and our fraternal order. A veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, General Cartwright broke barriers as one of the first African American generals in the United States Army. As a dedicated 33rd Degree Prince Hall Mason, his tragic passing in 1974 did not dim his light. His life's work of mentorship, leadership and service continues to guide military officers and Masonic brothers to this day, truly sharpening the blades of future leaders.

Furthermore, we remember the immortal courage of Brother Medgar Evers, a World War II Army veteran who survived the battlefields of Europe only to sacrifice his life on the front lines of the American Civil Rights Movement. As a dedicated 32nd Degree Prince Hall Scottish Rite Mason, Brother Evers proved that the fight for freedom is fought both abroad and at home. His assassination in 1963 reminded us all that the cost of justice is high, but the edge he put on the sword of civil rights remains unyielding.

Let us do more than just remember their names. Let us live in a way that honors the legacy of heroes like Brother Doctor, General Cartwright, and Brother Evers. Let us continue to sharpen one another in our councils, our consistories and our daily lives lifting up our communities, protecting the vulnerable, and maintaining the principles of justice, truth and brotherly love.

May the Great Architect of the Universe comfort the families of all our fallen heroes. Let us keep their memories alive in our hearts and in our actions. May God bless our Order, and may God bless the memories of our fallen soldiers.

Fraternally,

Dr. Corey D. Hawkins, Sr., 33°
Sovereign Grand Commander

Greetings:

To the mothers, grandmothers and maternal figures within our community:

On this Mother's Day, we pause to recognize and honor the lasting influence of your love, your strength and your quiet sacrifices. You are the foundation upon which families are built and sustained and your guidance shapes the character of generations yet to come.

Your presence brings stability in uncertain times, wisdom in moments of decision and compassion where it is needed most. These are not small things-they are the very qualities that hold communities together.
Scripture reminds us, "Her children arise up and call her blessed' (Proverbs 31:28).

Today, we join in that recognition, expressing our respect and gratitude for all that you do, often without recognition and without rest.

On this day, we hope you are surrounded by appreciation, by peace and by the love you so freely give to others. You have earned it.

Thank you for your dedication, your strength and your enduring grace.

Wishing you a blessed and meaningful Mother's Day.

Sincerely and respectfully,

The United Supreme Council-Southern Juridiction
