What Does the MPOH Service Program Do?
The Military Order of the Purple Heart's Service Program provides assistance to veterans, as well as orphans, widows, and other dependents. They provide representation for veterans who have been denied benefits in Washington, DC, present veterans' claims before the Court of Veterans Appeal, offer service to veterans in both cities and remote areas, educate veterans about their benefits, and process their claims for compensation, medical care, education, job training, and more.
