Hello! Whether you are a Purple Heart Medal recipient, spouse or family member, or merely just interested, this Oklahoma site's for you.

The National web site is: http://www.purpleheart.org/Membership/default.aspx

My name is Bruce Dwyer.  I am a member of the (non-profit/tax-deductible) Military Order of the Purple Heart (aka "MOPH").

While we are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3)(19) organization and our OK Dept. FEIN # is 20-3098859.

BUT, the IRS tax code that allows businesses and individuals to give us a tax-deductable donation is actually IRC 170 (c) (3). 

We support Combat Wounded Veterans, promote Patriotism, observe Patriotic events and enjoy camaraderie.  We also have fun together :-).

Please sign our Guestbook under the "Contact Us" tab above.

The primary purpose here is to tell you what the Military Order of the Purple Heart is about/up to, especially in the Department (state) of Oklahoma.

 Secondly, we support ALL VETERANS /Patriotic Activities and will try to be a lightning rod for veterans communications and support. We stand together or are diminished.  All advice/comments considered...:-)
