It is with great pride that
we, the brethren of
Tupelo Masonic Lodge No. 318 F&AM,
announce that
Bro Matthew Michael Gregory /G\, was initiated as an
Entered Apprentice, passed to the degree of
Fellow
Craft, and raised to the sublime degree of
Master
Mason on
23 March 2013, under special dispensation and
by the order of
M.W. Bro. Myron L. Ware, Grand Master of Masons in
Mississippi, MS Grand Lodge, Free & Accepted Masonry. Brother
Gregory has now been listed on our
Wall
of Honor!
Although Bro Gregory had many
special guest in lodge with him Saturday, we are sure that none were more
special than his Grandfather,
Bro Robert Oneal
McNeece.
We would like to thank
The Grand Lodge of
Mississippi,
The Mississippi Masonic Confederate Degree
Team,
The Mississippi Masonic Mountain Men Degree
Team, and those who worked tirelessly to put this event together,
promote, and prepare our lodge to host it. Some of those brethren are
Bro Ray Stanford, Bro Derik Rushing, Bro Isaiah Edger, Bro John
Davidson, Bro Wheeler Pulliam, Bro James O. Roberts, Bro PD Newman, Bro Austin
Long, and Bro Arnie Cade. If any were omitted, please accept our
apology. If you will submit your name to the lodge, this will be
amended.
To all the countless visiting brethren from several states and
to members of Tupelo 318 that attended and took part in, this piece of
Mississippi Masonic History, we offer our gratitude and we are truly humbled
for your support.
Our newly raised brother is at this present time
deploying. Bro Gregory is on his way to bring honor to the fraternity, uphold
the legacy of the craft, and defend our freedom in his service to our nation.
Bro Gregory also has another title, that of
United States
Marine. As he boarded that aircraft today, he left behind a wife,
mother, father, countless other family members, and hundreds of thousands of
brethren in which his bond can never be broken...
I encourage all who
may gaze upon this post, pause at this time, in a moment of silence, and offer a
prayer for
PFC Matthew Michael Gregory, USMC, and his family.
Matt, we salute you our brother and look forward to your safe return so that we
might once again have the honor of sitting along side you in lodge. God Speed
our brother, God Speed!
