Americanism

Sep 2025


 September is upon us and here in Florida, our children are already back in 

school. What better way to celebrate Americanism than for them to learn 

where Americanism came from - our history and the great men and women 

who helped create this great country! 

Remind them of the hardships they faced and many have given their lives so 

we can celebrate the freedoms we have as Americans! There have been many 

threats to us as a nation, many wars, and police actions and threats from 

within. 

We have weathered these storms in the past and we are currently dealing 

with an ever-evolving culture. We need to help our children understand and 

“learn from the past otherwise we are doomed to repeat it”. 

I love this country and hope that you all feel the same way. No matter what 

your political affiliation is - teach children that this country helped evolve on 

compromise, not “my way or the highway” mentality. 

Children are the future of this country - teach them well. Bring the pledge of 

allegiance back to schools every day, allow God in our schools and our life, 

and celebrate the principles this country was founded on. 

This is one man’s take on Americanism and what we need going forward - our 

children educated on Americanism. 

God Bless the Elks, and God Bless America!

Fraternally,

Ken Roger, Esteemed Loyal Knight
