At Modern Woodmen, our brand colors tell a story. In our early days, members would have jewelry decorated with red (representing life, action), white (pure intentions) or green (eternal life) enamel. Today, our official colors are blue and green, often depicted through sky and land imagery. This expresses our rural roots, while conveying growth and a positive future.

Modern Woodmen is partnering with Wreaths Across America to remember and honor veterans by laying wreaths on their graves this December. You, your family and friends can help honor our fallen heroes by volunteering at one of our local cemeteries. (And/or you can sponsor a wreath to be placed on a gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery. Modern Woodmen will match each purchase, wreath for wreath, doubling your impact.)
