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.

Thanksgiving message from the National Commander.
The Department of Arizona Military Order of the Purple Heart wishes you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving holiday.

We are thankful for the men and women who are currently serving in our armed forces. We are thankful for the families who make the sacrifice of not having loved ones home for the holiday.
