Americanism

Citizenship in America represent so many things and so does our Americanism program; love of country, love of our flag, freedom of speech and freedom to vote. Participates show enthusiasm, patriotism and pride for our country by promoting our programs.

It is the responsibility of each member to promote patriotism in their communities. When veterans return home, they fight a different type of war. So let's do our part by participating in our wonderful programs and remind everyone that every day is Veterans Day. For additional details about the various guidelines please contact your Unit or District Representatives. Also essay coversheets may be changed to accommodate our program participation.
