Testimonials

Garry Milam

What does it mean to you to be an Eagles member?

It means being able to "give" to organizations and causes that I often took for granted in the past.

What has being a member done for you?

Membership has given me the opportunity to reconsider my values and has provided me the opportunity to travel to 44 states to visit more than 500 aeries and auxiliaries where I met wonderful Eagles brothers and sisters. I visited the Grand Aerie twice.

Why do you feel being a member of the Eagles is important?

The Eagles help people daily — no other organization does what the Eagles do for mankind. I would hate to think of the millions of people who would not have assistance without the help of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Why should others join the Eagles?

The Eagles can help people improve their lives — whether they are donating their time or money, extending their sympathy or just being a friend.

What are the social benefits of being an Eagles member?

Members have fun while doing what the Eagles do best — "People Helping People."
