Cedar Rapids Scottish Rite

This Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom carries a cost paid by generations who answered the call of duty with courage, honor, and devotion to something greater than themselves.

As Scottish Rite Masons, we reflect upon the values of patriotism, service, and remembrance. Today is a day to pause, honor the fallen, and carry forward a spirit of gratitude worthy of their sacrifice.

May their memory endure.
May their service never be forgotten.
