Welcome to Purple Heart Chapter 711
The Military Order of the Purple Heart’s Stanley J. Spierer Chapter 711 has served the Greater Las Vegas area since 2003. Our members are Purple Heart recipients who come together to honor the sacrifices of combat-wounded veterans, support fellow veterans and their families, and serve our community.
Whether you are a Purple Heart recipient interested in joining, a veteran seeking information, or a community member who wants to support our work, we welcome you. Explore our website to learn about chapter activities, upcoming events, membership, and veterans’ resources.

The values that guide us
Patriotism
We honor the Constitution and laws of the United States and believe patriotism is expressed through service. We work to make our communities and our nation stronger, and we stand ready to support our country and one another in times of need.
Fraternity
Our chapter brings Purple Heart recipients together through friendship, mutual support, and a shared commitment to service. Members are encouraged to attend meetings, share their ideas, and help guide the chapter. We also work with other veterans’ groups and community organizations to serve worthy causes.
History
We honor General George Washington, who established the Badge of Military Merit at Newburgh, New York, on August 7, 1782. That badge became the predecessor of today’s Purple Heart.
Education
Grounded in loyalty to our country and reverence for God, we help young people and new citizens understand the heritage of American citizenship. We encourage appreciation for both the rights it provides and the responsibilities it asks of us.
