            generally have a Scottish heritage.

          2)The Scottish-American Military Society was founded to promote  
            and preserve Scottish and United States Armed Forces customs,  
            traditions, and heritage through educational programs, awards,  
            and charitable contributions, as well as supporting military  
            and community activities.

          3)The Scottish-American Military Society honors the commitment  
            of those serving in the Armed Forces of the United States, and  
            participates in welcome home ceremonies when troops return  
            from duty assignments, and in numerous Memorial Day and  
            Veteran's Day parades and ceremonies.
