As we gather to celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded not only of our nation's birth but also of the enduring principles that helped shape it—liberty, justice, and fraternity. These values are deeply intertwined with the teachings of Freemasonry.

Many of the Founding Fathers were Masons—men who believed in building a better world through self-improvement, civic virtue, and brotherly love. Their vision for a free and enlightened society still echoes in our rituals, our symbols, and our obligations.

On this Fourth of July, let us reflect with pride on the role Freemasonry has played in shaping our great nation. And let us recommit ourselves to being good citizens, upright men, and true Brothers—builders not just of temples made with hands, but of communities built on trust, compassion, and moral strength.

From Bentonville Lodge #56 to your family—Happy Independence Day!

So mote it be.
