Our members assist fellow veterans in navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs system. We help ensure wounded heroes receive the care, support, and benefits they are entitled to.

We guide eligible veterans through the process of receiving their Purple Heart recognition. If you earned it through sacrifice, we’re here to help you receive the honor.

We host regular gatherings, events, and community activities that bring Purple Heart recipients and veterans together for support, recreation, and shared experiences.

A strong brotherhood built on service and sacrifice. We provide a welcoming environment for veterans to connect with others who truly understand what they’ve been through.

We are Chapter #182 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, a Congressionally-chartered veterans service organization composed of combat-wounded U.S. veterans. Based at the American Legion in Indio, our chapter proudly serves Purple Heart recipients and other wounded veterans throughout the Coachella Valley. Every member understands the challenges of service-connected injuries, because we have lived them ourselves. We assist veterans with VA benefits, connect them with fellow recipients, and strengthen our community through events, advocacy, and brotherhood. When you join us, you are not just joining a chapter, you are joining a nationwide family of heroes dedicated to ensuring no wounded veteran stands alone.
