This moment of silence is to thank the Grand Architect for what we have and this country.This commemorates the 228th anniversary of Brother George Washington taking his oath of office. In a 1789 proclamation\, Brother Washington called on the people of the United States to acknowledge God for affording them "\;an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness"\; by observing a day of thanksgiving. Devoting a day to "\;public thanksgiving and prayer\,"\; as Washington called it\, became a yearly tradition in many communities.We will meet at the Washington Monument at 7:00am. DC Grand Lodge has authorized all masons to wear their Masonic dress and regalia.\nShare on your facebook page: \n\n For more info visit: https://www.naval-lodge.org/members/event.php?ID=417 URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.naval-lodge.org/members/event.php?ID=417 ORGANIZER;CN=Ed Kell:MAILTO:[email protected] CLASS:PUBLIC LOCATION:The Naval Lodge Hall\, 330 Pennsylvania Avenue\, S.E.\, Washington\, DC 20003 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
