The Elks have a long and storied history of service to The US Military and its Veterans. In WWI the Elks established two field hospitals in France and a 700 bed Veterans hospital in Boston. The Elks responded in multiple ways in WWII and every conflict since and currently has a series of very active programs and grants for veterans including fighting veterans homelessness.
