Our Historical Commitment to Veterans
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has proudly supported America’s veterans since World War I, when members mobilized nationwide to provide relief, comfort, and reintegration support for those returning from service. Over the decades, the Elks have built hospitals, donated millions of dollars in aid, and volunteered countless hours to ensure that no veteran is forgotten.
Broken Arrow Elks Lodge #2673 continues this tradition today by dedicating time, resources, and fellowship to those who served. From marching in the Veterans Day Parade and serving coffee at StandDown events, to hosting Honor Flight gatherings and visiting the VA Community Living Center each month with pizza and bingo, our Lodge makes it a priority to stand shoulder to shoulder with our veterans. These consistent efforts not only honor the sacrifices of the past but also provide meaningful support and companionship for today’s heroes.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Veterans
We honor and support our veterans year‑round through hands‑on service, fellowship, and fundraising. From monthly visits at the VA Community Living Center to our Annual Veterans Ball & Dance, our Lodge turns gratitude into action.
