MEMORIAL DAY · MAY 25, 2026
WE REMEMBER.
Today the flags fly at half-staff until noon.
Today we lay down our tools, our work, our distractions — and we stand in silence for the Brothers who never came home.
Not the ones who returned with stories and scars. Those Brothers have their day in November.
Today is for the ones who answered the final call. Who fell on foreign soil, in cold seas, in skies that became their grave. Who wrote their last letter home and never read the reply.
Some wore the apron before they wore the uniform. Some learned the lessons of the Lodge — duty, brotherhood, sacrifice — and then carried those lessons into battle.
They were sons. Husbands. Fathers. Brothers in arms. Brothers in the Craft.
And they did not come home.
