Did you know when you buy the “Support Our Troops” (SOT) License Plate, you are helping Minnesota Veterans and their families?
The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) distributes funds raised by the sale of SOT license plates to numerous organizations that support Minnesota Veterans and their families. Learn more about the SOT grant program on /mdva/resources/federalresources/grants/index.jspour website.
The Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) “Americanism” Program was awarded a $1,500 SOT/Veteran Service Organization (VSO) grant to purchase and distribute 50 MOPH community road signs to Minnesota cities and counties throughout the state.
The MOPH community road sign project was created to honor all those who have sacrificed for our country ... those killed or wounded in combat. The signs increase understanding of the definition of the Purple Heart Medal, bring together Purple Heart Veterans in their communities, promote the Minnesota Military Order of the Purple Heart, and raise awareness of MOPH programs. These programs include National Veterans Service Officers to help with disabilities, free lifetime memberships, the national Purple Heart scholarship program, and Minnesota’s Purple Heart Veterans activity program that provides free activities for Purple Heart Veterans and their family members.
