Auxiliary

Military Order of the Purple Heart Auxiliary 

The Military Order of the Purple Heart Auxiliary (MOPHA) Chapter 1836 is a Nonprofit Organization.


The MOPHA consists of lineal descendants of a Purple Heart recipient. We are proud to be members of this organization chartered by Congress.  

The MOPHA’s stated mission is to foster an environment of goodwill and camaraderie among combat wounded veterans, promote patriotism, support one another as necessary, and most importantly, provide service to all veterans and their families.  


We work together, share our compassion with families of the combat wounded, and volunteer on behalf of all veterans.


Our Patriots, Military Order of the Purple Heart members, cross every branch of service, champion camaraderie to all veterans, and share a common bond with those who have received the Purple Heart medal. 


Our purpose is to raise funds for service, welfare, and rehabilitation work in connection with the members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 1836.  

  • Conduct an annual fundraising raffle to benefit all veterans and their families
  • Assemble and deliver Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Hospital, San Antonio, Texas for distribution to veterans and their families.
  • Award an annual Reverend Father Leonard Stegman Scholarship Award to a deserving high school senior who is a lineal descendant of a Purple Heart recipient.
  • Participate with Chapter 1836 in the annual Fiesta Flambeau Parade in San Antonio and the 4th of July Parade in Seguin, TX to honor Purple Heart recipients and showcase the Purple Heart organization.

∙

Provide funds to the Welfare Fund of Chapter 1836 when requested by the Executive Committee and support Chapter events.


The Auxiliary meets once a month at VFW Post 8541 located at 2222 Austin Hwy, San Antonio, TX at 9:30 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month.
