MILITARY ORDER OF THE PURPLE HEART
Objects of our Order Patriotism
By Patriotism we mean true allegiance to the government of the United States of America and fidelity to its Constitution and Laws. Patriotism is devotion to our Country which demands that we do our utmost to make our home, our city, our state, and our nation a better place in which to live. In time of emergency we must give all we have of loyalty, service, savings, and sacrifice in the defense of our Country and Flag.
Objects of our Order Historical
To honor the memory of General George Washington, who instituted the Purple Heart on August 7, 1782, at Newburgh-on-the-Hudson in the State of New York.
Objects of our Order Fraternal
Fraternity requires that we attend all meetings of our Chapter if at all possible, to keep alive our contacts with fellow Patriots, to aid in the deliberations, and to offer suggestions for the good of the Order. Fraternity means a kindly impulse towards all Patriots, a cheerful smile, and a firm handclasp of loyal friendship. It also means that we cooperate with other veteran, patriotic, and civic organizations in worthy objectives.
Objects of our Order Educational
The Educational Objects of our Order are based on loyalty to our Country and reverence to God. We advocate the teaching and influencing of our youth and new citizens in a loyal appreciation of the heritage of American Citizenship with its responsibilities, as well as its rights and privileges
