SUMMARY:Michigan Elks 21st Annual Field of Honor at Alma Lodge
DESCRIPTION:The dedication of the 21st Anniversary of the Michigan Elks Field of Honor will take place at 2pm on Sunday\, May 3\, 2026 at Alma Lodge. If you have never attended this spectacular event\, please mark it on your calendar to attend. We invite all Lodges to purchase a 3”x5’ flag for $20 to represent their Lodge. When the Field is dismantled on June 14th these flags will be the purchaser’s to keep along with the pole and the tag. This year’s Special Honorees will be Cancer Victims and Survivors. \nLunch will be served before the ceremony from 11:30 until 1:30 and the Lodge will be open at 11 am for refreshments and conversation. \nThe ceremony begins with the National Anthem. The Michigan Elks President\, 1st Vice President\, 2nd Vice President and the Exalted Ruler of Alma Lodge will each talk briefly about this event. The Forgotten Eagles will bring in the 10 flags for the Military Field on their motorcycles and hand them off to the ten indi \n \nviduals who will place them in the Military Field. The anthems and/or drum roll will be played as each flag representing the branches of the military\, EMS/EMT\, Police\, Fire are placed. The last flag to be placed in the Field is the MIA/POW which will enter accompanied by “Amazing Grace”. \nThe Alma VFW Color Guard will then perform their 21 Gun Salute and Taps. \nEvery flag will then be announced and placed as the grounds of the Alma Lodge fill with 3’x5’ American flags until an awe-inspiring site is created. \nWe will then recite the Pledge of Allegiance and while “Proud to be an American” is sung\, we hold hands as the State officers wave a large American f \nlag. \nThere will be military vehicles and Denny G’s Vietnam jeep covered with Veteran’s signatures. Any Veteran is entitled to sign the jeep. Alma Fire Departments will have vehicles on the premises with the large Alma fire truck displaying the huge American flag on its raised ladder. This flag was donated to them by the Alma Elks. \nAfter the ceremony\, the Lodge will continue to be open for refreshments and conversation for a couple of hours. \nWe would appreciate it greatly if every Lodge could be represented with a Lodge flag and additional flags for $25 from its mem \nbers. All flags will be given to the purchasers after the Field is dismantled on June 14\, 2026 after the Alma Elks Flag Day Ceremony. \nFlags may be purchased in honor of or in memory of any individual\, though the majority of the flags will be for Military personnel or Veterans. \nRandy Boudreau and Elaine Helman-Boudreau \nCo-Chairs of the Michigan Elks Field of Honor at Alma Lodge. \n  \nAny questions\, contact \nrand1b@yahoo.com or 989-506-6332 and leave a message.
