History of the American Flag

Attention Grand Knights....

Are you looking for a program for your Council’s social Meeting? If so, how about the History of our Country’s flag? That’s right, Old Glory!

Our flag, the symbol of our national unity, tells us of the struggle for independence, of a union preserved, of the sacrifices of brave men and women to whom the ideals and honor of this nation have been dearer than life.

If your Council would like to see and hear the rest of the story, call PFN Walter Skinner at 516-796-6965, to make arrangements for “The History of Our Flag Presentation.” You can also make arrangements through your council’s Fourth Degree Chairman.

 

 

 

RESPECT LIFE

These embryonic human beings are alive, now, and involved in a terrible dilemma utterly beyond their control. They are human, innocent and helpless, and therefore deserving of love and the protection of the state. They are dependent on civilization but civilization is perhaps is even more dependent on them, as we consider their fate. In considering their fate, we are determining our own. Perhaps this is the real precipice on which we stand: the notion (again) that certain human beings can be considered so insignificant as to be unworthy of love and protection solely on the basis of their size and stage of development. That we are even considering this question of human medical experimentation is already the result of the disastrous turn we took with Roe v Wade, the ruling that a developing (but fully human) child's life was less important than a woman’s convenience or difficult circumstances, circumstances that could vastly improved with simple love and acceptance, offered and received with good outcome for all, including the child. The question at stake...strike at the very foundation of civilized society. The choice is between justice and truth, where love and civility are safe to flourish, or a descent into chaos, barbarism, anarchy, tyranny and death.

…Did you know that life begins at the moment of conception?

…Did you know that a human embryo is not “potential life” it is “human life that has potential”

There is room for everyone in the pro-life movement.
No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
