Widows Sons and Veterans Day
Pennsylvania Freemasons do much to support veterans and active duty military in their lodges, districts and communities throughout the year. In recognition of Veterans Day tomorrow, here’s a story of one recent project….
Brother Richard Storms, PM, Spring Ford Masonic Lodge #553, Royersford, is a member of the Pennsylvania Widows Sons. He and other motorcyclists recently had the honor of escorting the Vietnam Veterans Wall through Chester and Montgomery Counties for a ceremony, with the support of first responders in the area. On Veterans Day 1996, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund unveiled a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., designed to travel by truck to communities throughout the United States. “The Wall That Heals” was on display at Anderson Farm Park in Collegeville, PA, for a few days before moving on. “It was a real honor to participate in this event,” Richard said. “It was an opportunity to give back and pay tribute, not only to the Vietnam veterans, but to veterans in general. It’s important to make sure they feel like we care and are there to support them.”
