DALLAS – Just before Memorial Day weekend, the Cost of Freedom Tribute arrived in Dallas Wednesday. The American Veterans Traveling Tribute includes a traveling replica of the Vietnam Wall, which will be on display at Fair Park through the weekend. The wall stretches 383 feet long. Monday, a caravan of motorcycles, which were ridden primarily by Vietnam veterans, made a special stop for an hour-long ceremony at Dallas City Hall. Escorted by Dallas police, the riders started their trip in Denton, with their last stop of the day at Fair Park, which is where the wall will be blessed during a public ceremony at 6 p.m. The creator, Don Allen, said in addition to those killed while serving their country, names of those killed in terrorist attacks like 9-11 are also etched into the wall. In fact, the wall was updated just 24 hours before Monday’s ceremony. The reason behind the tribute is “to travel to communities ro have a forum for the community to put aside their differences, come together, honor, respect and remember those we ask to protect and defend us,” said Allen, who is also a military veteran. “It has a tendency to bring back a lot of memories, and some good, some not-so-good,” said Larry Key, a veteran with the Patriot Guard Riders. “But, more importantly, it’s not about me; it’s about those who didn’t come back.”

Tannehill Lodge No. 52 was granted dispensation by the Grand Lodge of Texas on December 11, 1848, not under a Charter, but rather a Warrant. On May 11, 1849, the brethren met on the second floor of the storehouse owned by the Alexander Brothers on what is now Record Street in Downtown Dallas. We now meet at 507 South Harwood Street across from the Scottish Rite Cathedral.
We want it to be known to the visitors of this website, that we are a Visionary Lodge with a ‘Turn-Key System of Operations’, and how proud we are to be the “Mother Lodge” of the Dallas Metro-plex, and most of all that we are Brother Master Masons actively involved in the Dallas Community.
