About this event
About MOPH Chapter 705
We are a 501(c)(19) which is a not-for-profit veteran organization. Unlike a 501(c)(3), our officers do not use charitable donations to pay salaries to any of our members. Our members only receive their own VA disability ratings, retirement pensions, separate employment, etc., not donations. Our donations are used for Patriotic, Fraternal, Historical, and Educational purposes.
1. Patriotic: Our patriots promote both Purple Heart Day and the birthday of General George Washington. Our members also participate in events and functions in regard to Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Independence Day, and each branches’ birthdays.
2. Fraternal: Our combat wounded patriots provide assistance to all our veteran brothers/sisters in their time of need. Donations also assist our patriots in joining together at local chapter meetings, monthly; meeting of officers along with other chapters in Florida, quarterly; and sending selected members/officers to our national meeting, yearly. Our Patriots are combat veterans from all war eras; not just Post 9/11 veterans.
3. Historical: Our aim is to keep alive the memory and achievements of our Country’s founders and to ever cherish the memory of General George Washington, who instituted the Purple Heart on August 7, 1782.
4. Educational: Through donations, every year we provide MOPH Leadership Medals and certificates to well-deserving cadets from our local J/ROTC programs. We don’t have enough funds to cover all schools in our area. We also have a scholarship for students who meet the criteria.
