Honorary military societies
Honorary military societies are organizations that recognize individuals for their exceptional service, achievements, or contributions related to the military or defense. They are often composed of distinguished members, including military personnel, veterans, or civilians, who have demonstrated leadership, valor, or significant support for military causes. These societies promote camaraderie, uphold military traditions, and often engage in charitable activities or educational initiatives. Membership is typically honorary, bestowed in recognition of merit rather than active duty, serving to honor and preserve the values and history of the armed forces.
