Greetings, Sisters and Brothers,
In appreciation, Mizpah Grand Chapter would like to say “Thank You” to the members who have
served or are currently serving in the United States Military including the United States Coast
Guard. We owe great gratitude to the Sisters and Brothers who sacrificed so much to keep our
country safe. As a Grand Chapter, we are working hard to identify and recognize these members.
Our goal is to honor and preserve the courageous service of our military members while making
fellow citizens aware of their vital roles in our country’s national defense. Our mission is to partner
with other organizations that share this vision to successfully improve the quality of life for those
who have served their country and their families for their sacrifices. We must recognize and
respect our veterans for all they have done to preserve the safety and democracy of our country.
Fraternally Yours,
