Great afternoon at Togus V.A. with the wonderful tunes by Tom Morin. Two hours of non-stop music capturing the hearts of all. We had a request to bring him back! 👏👏👏

Thankful for the refreshments donated by College Carryout and Sam’s Club. The finger roll trays were a great hit and the cookies disappeared, almost instantly! Fantastic afternoon!!!

Thank You all for making the time to honor our Veterans on their special day! 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

*We do not post pictures of the veterans to respect their privacy.

This Veterans Remembrance Month, ENVSC is highlighting all the ways Elks have shown their reverence for veterans. Elks know that remembering veterans is more than showing up with their words, but with their actions, too! Whether it's with a Freedom Grant, Focus Grant, or Welcome Home Kit, volunteers are eager to show veterans in their communities that Elks care!

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause." ‒ Abraham Lincoln

Happy Veterans Day! Thank You for your service! 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served this nation!

Though Veterans Day is only one day, Elks show their gratitude for veterans 365 days a year. Whether it's hosting a summer fishing outing, serving a home-cooked meal at Christmas, or building a community garden in the spring, Elks will always be there to support veterans and their families.

Shu and I invite you to join this great effort in honoring our deceased veterans buried at the Togus National Cemetery. It was truly heartwarming as we helped place thousands of wreaths last year.

Elks lodges across the State of Maine are collectively working together with their communities to help the Maine Elks Association Veterans Program and other businesses, clubs and organizations provide 5300 wreaths, through Wreaths Across America, to ensure that every Veteran buried at the Togus National Cemetery has a wreath placed on their grave, this holiday season.

This is the link to donate to this great cause. We thank you for your donation and generosity. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

Wreaths Across America ("WAA") coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies every December to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" about the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families. Please check out this page to learn how you can help by sponsoring Veterans Remembrance Wreaths or by joining us on Decembe...
