Mount Scott Chapter 602 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (Newsletter, 21 January, 2022). Greetings all, this last year was a productive one for us; albeit having the downsides of Covid and losing patriots Jerry Orr and Billy Grant. Please pray for all of our patriots with serious medical conditions. And the healing of all Americans and America, herself. Our next meeting is on 1 February, 6 pm at Hilton Garden Inn on 2nd Street here in Lawton. We need attendance at these meetings in order to stay in business. Please come! Last year's donations:

OK (state) is actually taking over our PH parking signs project. Also a special shout out to patriot (and Stephen's County Deputy Sheriff) Robbie Blackford for doing most of the heavy lifting in making Stephen's County a Purple Heart City. And his big heart in starting his "Shop with a Sheriff" program for victims of crime/tragedy. We also attended several patriotic holiday events and also recognized/honored our local 8 PH veterans on August 7th (Purple Heart Day) at the ODVA Flower Mound Veteran's facility; with PH coins for them (and cake and punch for all). We earn our money by doing a mass mail out and applying for grants, etc., on line. Please donate to us, if you can:
