 The Military Order of the Purple Heart of the U.S.A. Inc.
(MOPH) is a Congressionally chartered national
veteran´s service organization. The funding for veterans
services, welfare, rehabilitation, and educational

Heart Service Foundation, Inc. Funds for these
programs are raised by the wholesale of useable
household goods contributed by people just like you
through the Purple Heart Pickup Service. Contributions
to the Foundation are tax deductible. Chartered by
Congress, the Military Order of the Purple Heart is the
ONLY national organization composed entirely of
combat wounded veterans who have received the
Purple Heart Medal. It was founded on the decoration
originally established by General George Washington in
1782 for gallantry, fidelity, and service.
