Welcoming remarks as MC of the Lincoln Death Day Luncheon

Brothers and Sisters,

I wish to welcome you to the Lincoln Death Day Luncheon.  It is my privilege and pleasure to be the Master of Ceremonies for this event as well as the earlier ceremonies at the Tomb.  I hope that each of you are enjoying the beautiful day that God has granted us and it is my heartfelt wish, that each of you have been able to connect with old friends or discover new friends with whom you will now share this meal.  Let this be a special time filled with the conversations and fond remembrances, which will strengthen the bonds of Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty that keep us steadfast in fulfilling our purposes as the Allied Orders and entreat us to act in harmony and with respect for each other.   For only in that manner can we ever hope to inculcate all citizens with a love for those who gave the last full measure of devotion to preserve this country, and more especially honor the memory of our beloved President Lincoln, whom we are gathered to honor.
