Celebrating Patriotism

The Elks Americanism Committee organizes numerous patriotic events, such as Flag Day ceremonies, Fourth of July parades, and Veterans Day programs. These events bring communities together to honor the flag and recognize the sacrifices made by those who serve. The Elks promote the importance of national pride and respect for the symbols of American freedom.

Teaching American Values

Education is a key component of the Americanism Committee’s mission.

By instilling these values early, the committee helps nurture the next generation of patriotic citizens who understand the importance of freedom and justice.
