fraternal, patriotic, historical and educational, 
to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members, 
to assist worthy comrades, 
to perpetuate the memory and history of our dead and to assist their widows and orphans, 
to maintain true allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, 
to foster true patriotism, to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, 
    and to preserve and defend the United States from all her enemies, whomsoever.
