Our doors are always open! We practice the principles that make our country great — at Masonic lodges, all men are equal, regardless of income, race, or religion. There are over 13,000 lodges in the U.S. You’ll find one in most small towns, and large cities usually have several. You can travel almost any place in the world and find the warm hand of brotherhood extended to you. Freemasons believe their principles represent BROTHERLY LOVE |

Ben Hur joins with VFW Post 7397 for “Platoons Forward” |
|
Platoons Forward is a program to provide comfort items to Infantry Platoons and Companies deployed to remote mountain top Combat Out Posts. These units do not have access to facilities such as Mess Halls and Post Exchanges. They are supported by helicopter delivered “bullets and beans”. In coordination with the Company First Sergeant, a unit “Wish List” is developed. Items are collected and the VFW ships them to the First Sergeant for distribution to the men. Ben Hur has agreed to help rally the community and collect comfort items and or cash to cover shipping for this worthy cause. If you would like to donate please stop by the Lodge we have a collection box there. You can also visit the VFW website for a current wish list. VFW 7397—Platoons Forward
