n past December issues of Viking
I have shared how much I enjoy
Christmas. However, in addition to
a reason to celebrate, the holidays can be
a time for reflection; especially in light of
the difficulties of the past few months.
First there was serious flooding in
Minot, N.D., that affected many of our
members. The devastation was significant,
but our Foundation acted immediately
with financial assistance, and our
members provided great support to
their community. This is real fraternalism
in action.
I
Then, we were shocked by the tragedy
that took place in Norway in July.
Many of us have friends and family
there and, of course, there are Sons of
Norway members. We anxiously waited
to learn if those close to us were safe.
During the months that followed we
saw the remarkable resilience of the
Norwegian people.

Finally, this past fall marked the 10th
anniversary of 9/11. It's hard for me to
believe that a decade has passed since
that terrible day. These events have
caused me to reflect on what's important.
During this holiday season, I will
hug my family and friends a little
tighter, and I will offer additional
prayers of thanks for all that I have. I
also will give thanks for the incredible
extended family that I have in Sons of
Norway. The support we've given and
commitment we have for one another
provides strength and comfort for all
in difficult times.
Betty and I wish you a Merry
Christmas and a New Year filled with
peace, joy, hope and happiness.
