Founded in Seattle in 1898, members selected the Bald Eagle as the official emblem and eventually adopted the name "The Fraternal Order of Eagles." It has since grown into an international non-profit organization of over 1500 local units called "Aeries" united fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope.
