Leavenworth
Chapter #154, National Sojourners, has a uniformed Flag Building Team. Our ~30 minute presentation requires only
the following: A place to put our easel on which we build the flag and a
small table, like a card table, on which to put our materials. We
bring everything else.
|
| As an
introduction, we are members of Fort Leavenworth Chapter No. 154,
National Sojourners. Sojourners
is a Masonic organization of many chapters that promote Patriotism
and Americanism. Sojourners sponsor one of the nation's largest libraries on
Americanism at Collingwood along the Potomac just north of George
Washington's estate at Mount Vernon.
Sojourners also sponsor |
 |
| JROTC
awards, present flags, and participate in many local activities
that honor our flag and nation. Our membership consists
primarily of officers, warrant officers, and senior NCOs, past and
present, of the uniformed services of the United States of
America.

The
Flag Building is a short, visual history of the many variations of our
flag
as our nation struggled, grew and prospered.

We
do not charge for our program. We
do it for love of our flag and country.
We gladly accept any donations, which we apply to our Freedoms
Foundation Scholarship Fund. The
fund is used to send area youth to Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge.
Since 1965, Freedoms Foundation comprehensive educational
curriculum has reached more than 50,000 |
| elementary and high school
students and 9,000 educators. Their programs in American History,
constitutional rights and citizens' responsibilities, civics, character
building, and the free enterprise system have earned wide spread
recognition while remaining consistent with national Social Studies
standards. |

We
would be grateful for an opportunity to share this program with your
organization or school. If you have any questions, please feel
free to call Dick Wright at:

| Continued thanks
to our uniformed Heroes of '76 who time and time again present our Flag
Building program to schools, churches, patriotic organizations and
citizens groups. Please
see the pictures that show only a sampling of the many presentations
these Sojourners have done throughout the years. You are truly
heroes for Patriotism and Americanism. |
