Military Outreach Program

As our armed services continue to be activated and deployed overseas in the coming months, it is recommended that the following program be implemented to assure that our Brothers who are called to serve our country are in the forefront of both our minds and deeds.

Masons have a proud tradition of supporting our men and women in uniform, dating back to the Revolutionary War. In every conflict or war that involved our country, Freemasons never lost their focus on the individual serviceman or woman. You’ll find Masonic influence in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Gulf War.

The first step in any of these proposed initiatives would be the identification of either current members of the Craft or their family members (wives, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren) who are serving on active duty. Use our online form or download the form and send it in.

Keeping our time-honored tradition of supporting our troops is more important now than ever. The following elements of an overall program will be implemented by Masons across New York State to ensure that our Brothers and their relatives on active duty across the globe are not forgotten.

• Operation Pen Pal
• Operation Send Off
• Operation Find a Brother
• Operation Family Care
• Operation Welcome Home
