Fallen 15

$
Chartered by Congress in 1958, The Military Order of the Purple Heart is composed of military men and women who received the Purple Heart Medal for wounds suffered in combat. Although our membership is restricted to the combat wounded, we support all veterans and their families with a myriad of nation-wide programs by Chapters and National Service Officers.

OUR STORY

Fallen 15 is an Ohio 501(c)(3) that was started to honor, celebrate and be inspired by the lives of the nation’s fallen service members to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as our local Veteran communities. This organization’s flagship event is a unique, 15k race in which a fallen service member is represented by each kilometer. It is also where the ’15’ in our name comes from. It is just one of the many events Fallen 15 plans to hold each year in communities across the country. 

OUR PURPOSE

Fallen 15 is dedicated to enriching the lives of the Veteran Community by creating outreach programs for whole, wounded, active and inactive Veterans. By doing so, we hope to allow these service members to become leaders and mentors, allowing their assimilation back into the community a meaningful and dignified one. These communities will be strengthened by these service members, who have answered the call to defend freedom. We believe there is no greater tribute or recognition paid to those who didn’t make it home, than to honor their lives everyday, by working toward making these communities across the nation more active, resilient and strong.

Being a part of any Fallen 15 event will ensure you are contributing to a generation of service members who deserve to be remembered for their selfless sacrifice. Monetary donations, sponsorships, race participation, admissions and race merchandise sales will be used exclusively toward enhancing Fallen 15’s outreach programs and Scholarship Fund
