Happy birthday today to the US Navy. October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the purchase and outfitting of two armed vessels to intercept British ships carrying supplies and am******on. That decision established the Continental Navy and marked the beginning of an American naval tradition that has now endured for 251 years. The Continental Navy was disbanded after the Revolution, but Congress established the Department of the Navy in 1798 and October 13 remains the date recognized as the Navy’s official birthday. From wooden sailing ships and ironclads to aircraft carriers, submarines, and today’s modern fleet, generations of American sailors have answered the call to serve at sea and around the world. At Friendship Lodge AF&AM, we are especially proud of our brethren who served in the United States Navy. To all of our sailor veterans, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for carrying on a tradition that began 251 years ago today.

Construction of one of America’s most famous buildings formally began October 13, 1792 when the cornerstone of the President’s House, later known as the White House, was laid in a Masonic ceremony. Freemasons and civic leaders formed a procession from Georgetown to the building site. A brass plate commemorating President George Washington, architect James Hoban, and others was placed beneath the stone. The ceremony included the traditional Masonic use of corn, w**e, and oil. The building that rose from that foundation would survive a British burning in 1814, major renovations, and more than two centuries of American history. Remarkably, the original cornerstone and its brass plate have never been conclusively found.

For the brethren of Friendship Lodge AF&AM, the ceremony offers a remarkable connection between our fraternity and the earliest days of the nation’s capital. Freemasons helped design and construct the White House, including architect James Hoban and a number of the skilled craftsmen who worked on the building. A year later, Brother George Washington would participate in another Masonic ceremony to lay the cornerstone of the United States Capitol. The White House cornerstone reminds us that a strong structure begins with a sound foundation, a lesson every Mason understands. More than 230 years later, the building still stands as a symbol recognized throughout the world.
