In honor of Veterans Day, members of Elks Lodge 1055 presented The Story of the United States Flag, showcasing nine flags from the Pine Tree Flag of 1775 to today’s Stars and Stripes. They shared President Woodrow Wilson’s words:"This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought, and the shape of this nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choice is ours. Only love, true love of our fellow man, can create peace. The emblem and token of that love are the Stars and Stripes, the symbol of the American way of life."
Elk member Dennis Klein concluded with a call to action: “Let us rededicate ourselves to the Flag of the United States of America, and may the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity ever increase in each of us.”
