“[I] Was retired and searching for something to do! MOPH was the perfect answer!“

- Patriot N. Barker

“I initially joined because the members of the organization are those who I’ve idolized my entire life; they’re the living embodiments of the stories I’ve heard throughout my childhood. It’s incredible to now call them my peers, my friends. I’ve stayed active with The Order because of the bonds I’ve formed with our members, and in knowing that we truly make an impact in the community. It’s really a special group.“

- Patriot I. Parkinson

“I joined MOPH to help Veterans – I have been a strong Advocate for Veterans in New Jersey and here in Arizona since 2012. I am now serving as your Department Commander. I will continue to advocate for you with our legislative leaders, Veterans affairs and our VA Healthcare system. I strongly believe in Transparency and Communication.”

- Patriot C. Byers

December 7th, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day: This is the 83rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. 3,500 Americans were casualties, and the United States entered WWII. Our people united to do what was needed to defend liberty and America’s “Greatest Generation” was born. We no longer have a MOPH member who served at Pearl Harbor and most of that generation is now gone but we are eternally grateful to them for their courage, perseverance, and sacrifice. Thank you to the “Greatest Generation”. Take some time on December 7th to remember those who died at Pearl Harbor and those who fought to prevail in WWII. Photo is USS Arizona.
