Over two hundred years ago
Emperor Napoleon founded the French Society known as the "Legion of Honor"
whose purpose was to give recognition for distinguished military service to
honorable people. Al Bahr's
Legion of Honor was chartered in 1954 and then became a member of the
International Association Legions
of Honor (IALOH). We are honored to have had two of our members serve as
International Commanders.
Ezra Johnson 1977-1978 and Edmund Dreyer 2002-2003.
The Legion of Honor is comprised of Al Bahr Nobles who have been honorably
discharged from the Armed
Forces of their country or are serving on active duty. The Legion of Honor
carries the Al Bahr Shrine banner
and the colors of the four countries associated with the Shrine in all parades
in addition to serving their Temple
and Potentate. In addition to the parades, the Legion of Honor conduct the
annual Memorial Day Service
at Mt. Laguna. At their May dinner they honor those members who have
passed on.
While the Legion of Honor no longer has one hundred
members who have marching in the parades, we continue
to pursue the traditions that have made the Legion of Honor a unit of which to
be proud.
IT IS AN HONOR TO BELONG TO THE LEGION OF HONOR.
MEETING
Stated Meetings normally on the third Saturday, with a

If you have questions as to where and when the meetings are, please call the
Commander.
