1. On October 31, 2006 , President George W. Bush issued a Proclamation, urge all Americans to observe November 5 through November 11, 2006 , as National Veterans Awareness Week. The proclamation states in part: “I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through ceremonies and prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to support and participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I invite civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, businesses, unions, and the media to support this national observance with commemorative expressions and programs.”

I call upon my brothers to take appropriate measures to honor those within our Order who have honorably served our country in our armed forces, to remember our brothers now serving in our military forces around the world today and to appropriately observe Veteran’s Day and National Veterans Awareness Week.
To our veterans, I say thank you for your service to defend our freedoms.
I direct the full Proclamation of our President, be posted on our Order’s web site.
