Americanism
is defined as the devotion or loyalty to the United States of America.
To believe in the Pledge of Allegiance. To stand tall with our hands on
our hearts or in a military salute when the National Anthem is played.
To honor our veterans and pay tribute to those who have
made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. True
Elks are true Americans. They not only believe in those principles but
they consistently put them in practice; and
teach their children and grandchildren
to follow those principles. This
year, C.H.E.A. is promoting “fly
the Flag” at your home or place of business; and encouraging the
Lodges to award certificates to those who participate. They are also
promoting Flag Day, Patriotism Week and the Americanism Essay Contest,
and many other programs that can be found in the C.H.E.A. Americanism
Manual or the Elks Americanism Committee Manual. I
encourage all Americanism Chairs to obtain these manuals for ideas on
how to promote Americanism . Please
do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or ideas on how
to promote Americanism. Ron
