The Department of California Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), USA, Inc. has developed this website to serve our members, promote patriotism and assist all veterans and the public with information about our Order, the programs we offer and the assistance we seek to provide to all veterans of this great nation.

Members may log onto the national website, "purpleheart.org" and view the many programs and information supplied by MOPH.

Chapter information is available to our members, combat wounded veterans wishing to join our organization and the public seeking local information.

Because our members are all combat wounded veterans we understand the needs of all veterans with similar circumstance and the unique needs associated with the traumas of war. Our National Service Program can assist with all matters dealing with VA claims, both new and those claims that require review.

Through a variety of programs and activities our members and their chapters continue to serve our communities and the nation. Our members and the Ladies Auxiliary volunteer many hours at both VA hospitals and clinics and assist VA patients through our Service, Welfare Rehabilitation (SWR) programs. Scholarships are available from many chapters.

Of great concern to our members are the activities we involve ourselves with to promote patriotism. Our military award has its roots with General George Washington. Ours was the first such award designed for the enlisted citizen soldier. The history is a powerful story with actions by many heroes and patriots from this nations' proud history. We love our country and do not hide that fact. Please look through this site for activities within your community.

We look forward to your comments on this site and the information made available.
