Brother Thompson was honored with the Medal Of Valor By President Donald Trump

Congress passed The Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor Act in 2001, which created the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor, the highest national award for valor by a public safety officer.

Freemasonry Squared reported on the events during the atrocities of the Dallas shooting during a protest that day.

Brother Brent Thomason, 43, Member of DeMolay Gold Chapter, Master Mason of Corsicana Lodge No. 174, Corsicana, Texas and nearly a seven-year veteran of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit agency(D.A.R.T.) was called to the celestial lodge above after his heroic actions during the Dallas shooting on July 7, 2016. Brother Thompson was honored with the Medal Of Valor By President Donald Trump.

“He gave his life while engaging a mass shooter and saving the lives of countless civilians and fellow officers during a protest march in Dallas on July 7, 2016,” DART said in a statement.

Open Carry says the Grand Lodge of Texas

The Grand Lodge of Texas has just passed a resolution that will give the right to carry a legal and licensed gun in Blue Lodge upon the approval of each individual Worshipful Master.

What does this mean?

As long as the Worshipful Master of the lodge gives the okay than you're allowed to wear your weapon.

Thoughts? Would your Grand Lodge ever consider a similar resolution?

The Ringling Bros bring down the Big Top permanently

The story just broke over the last 24 hours that our Masonic Brethren that began Ringling Bros. Circus will shut down its big top after over 100 years in operation.

"I have made the difficult business decision that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® will hold its final performances in May of this year," CEO Kenneth Feld said.

High operating costs and the decline of ticket sales "made the circus an unsustainable business for the company," Feld said.

And after "the transition of the elephants off the road, we saw an even more dramatic drop" in ticket sales, Feld said.

Outside the big top, the Ringling Bros. runs an elephant conservation center, a 200 acre of rural land in Florida, between Tampa and Orlando.

Owned and operated in 1995 by Ringlinig, the center focuses on the care and study of Asian elephants -- an endangered species that it had uses in its shows.

It's well known in our masonic circles that all seven Ringling Bros. Including their father were raised to the sublime degree at Baraboo Masonic Lodge No. 34 in Wisconsin.

Remembering our Brother

Brother Brent Thompson, 43, was a member of DeMolay Black Gold Chapter, Master Mason of Corsicana Lodge No. 174 in Corsicana, Texas and nearly a seven-year veteran of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit agency. Bro. Thompson was also was a father of six children and recently married only two weeks ago.

After the Breaking News of the Dallas Shootings hit media stations, social media and other outlets the stories haven’t stopped coming in.

Bro. Thompson was killed during the overnight atrocities in Dallas and the first officer killed in the line of duty.

The Freemasonry Squared Team says with a heavy heart, that Bro. Thompson has dropped forever the working tools of life, “May it be your portion my brother, to hear from him who sits as judge supreme those welcome words, Well done good, brave and faithful servant, welcome into thy joy of the Lord”.

The plot thickens in the Arkansas Grand Line

Well, it was only a matter of time before word spread like wild fire but it’s now Masonic News. Most Worshipful Billie Joe Holder Jr., Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arkansas has allegedly suspended their sitting Deputy Grand Master, Right Worshipful Bro. Patrick Carr on Masonic charges that have yet to be specified. From what the Freemasonry Squared Team has gathered, RWB Carr is a very progressive mason in his thinking and actions but as it stands and what is being mentioned in Masonic circles, we’ll probably be hearing more about this story as it moves forward.
