Military Order of the Purple Heart - East Pasco Chapter 705

Military Order of the Purple Heart - East Pasco Chapter 705 East Pasco Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 705, is a Veterans Organization that provides support to combat wounded veterans and their families

East Pasco Military Order of the Purple Heart, USA is a Veterans organization that provides support to combat wounded veterans and their families to overcome physical, emotional and economic distress as a result of their sacrifices to this nation. The Military Order of the Purple Heart began in 1932 and chartered by Congress in 1958, is composed exclusively of Purple Heart recipients. It is the o

nly veterans service organization made up of strictly combat veterans. The East Pasco Chapter 705 was organized in 1996. We are a 501(c)(19) tax-exempt veterans organization, and all donations are deductible as charitable contributions IAW Section 170(C)(3) of the IRC. Qualifications: Today, as in the past, the single bond that unites members of the Order is that each has sustained a wound inflicted by an enemy in combat. There is no exclusion by war or branch of service - the members' common bond is that they have given of their own blood. You are eligible if you have been awarded the Purple Heart Medal by the Government of the United States of America. Evidence of the award of the Purple Heart must be submitted. The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the Armed Forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration. The ladies Auxiliary membership is available to wives, mothers and daughters of MOPH members.

Here's some good info for FREE Covid home tests for anyone wanting to have some rapid tests on hand in case you end up needing one.
These tests are hard to catch in stores right now...stores are having a hard time keeping them in stock...and if you find them are running $20-$50 depending on what kind they have and where you get it.
There is a limit of 4 per household address but they can be ordered completely FREE including free shipping at

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days.

Today's Veteran's Day program at Zephyr Park...Thank you to State Senator Danny Burgess for his heartfelt words today, as always it was a pleasure to have him here. The crowd was smaller than normal due to the weather, but the heavy rain held off until right after the service. ZHS Jr ROTC and ZHS Chorus both did a fine job today. 21 Gun Salute and Taps by the Honor Guard finished up the day...A big Thank You to all who participated in Honoring and Remembering all those who have served, are currently serving or will serve in the future...I hope even if you didn't attend today's service or one similar in another location, that you did at least take some time to reflect on those who have made it possible for us to enjoy the Freedoms we have. Before heading home I took a few minutes reflecting at the Purple Heart Memorial to quietly Remember sacrifices made...and the many familiar faces who were no longer here to share today...gone but never forgotten.
