As Elks, we are committed to our country, our flag, and our communities. Our Order has made the commitment that "as long as there is a veteran in a hospital, they will not be forgotten." We respect our flag and all it stands for, support our Constitution, and salute the brave men and women who have or are serving in the defense of our country. We are the only organization in the country to have a flag day ceremony. "Elks care, Elks share" -- that is our motto, and we do so in any way that we can. But we have learned how to do this and have some fun at the same time.
