Military careerCharles Cuprill Oppenheimer was a United States veteran of World War II and the Korean War. Cuprill Oppenheimer enrolled in the Army ROTC program and graduated in 1940. By 1941-1942 Cuprill Oppenheimer took a temporary leave of absence from attending the University of Puerto Rico School of Law when he was asked to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II as a 2nd lieutenant in Company "L" 65th Infantry Regiment. After World War II ended, at 30 years of age and with the rank of major, he was honorably discharged from active duty military service in 1946 to resume the pursuit of a law degree and a law career. After obtaining his license to practice law from the United States Supreme Court and in 1947, his law practice was temporarily interrupted again from 1950-1953 when Cuprill Oppenheimer was ordered to return to military active duty with the Puerto Rico National Guard during the Korean War. During the Korean War, Cuprill Oppenheimer commanded the 3rd Battalion of the 296th Infantry Regiment (note: the 296th was mobilized on September 14, 1952 so that it could provide replacements to its sister company deployed in Korea). Cuprill Oppenheimer later became the Commanding Officer of the Henry Barracks Army base in Cayey, Puerto Rico, where United States' draftees were trained before being sent as replacements to the 65th Infantry Regiment. He retired from the Puerto Rico National Guard with the rank of major general. Among his active involvement in many other military organizations, such as the Reserve Officers Association (ROA) he was proud to have founded the Ponce Chapter of the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) along with his son Hector, of which both are life members. Law careerCuprill Oppenheimer was admitted to the practice of law in Puerto Rico in 1947 by the Puerto Rico Supreme Court (note: at the time, the bar examination and admission process was such that upon graduation of law school, an individual candidate had to undergo an extensive oral examination administered by each individual Puerto Rico Supreme Court Justice, and upon passing the bar exam, the U.S. Supreme Court would admit and confer upon the successful candidate a license to practice law in Puerto Rico).{{fact|date=February 2019}} Cuprill Oppenheimer was also admitted to the United States Supreme Court Bar. As previously noted his law career was interrupted twice when he had to answer the call by the United States to serve his nation during World War II and the Korean War. He was rewarded for his sacrifices by having a successful law practice in good standing with the legal community for well over 50 years. Cuprill Oppenheimer is well known for his appellate work (Property law and Administrative law) and for being responsible for having being instrumental and influential in setting landmark jurisprudence with the Puerto Rico Supreme Court in a multitude of his cases argued before the P.R. Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court.

He was one of the founders and a trustee emeritus of the Ponce School of Medicine Cuprill was a two-time president of Phi Sigma Alpha[2] and "Hermano Emeritus" Medal holder[3] of the Fraternity. In 1950, he was one of the founders of the Gamma-Boriquen chapter of Fi Sigma Alpha fraternity.[4] Rotary International was a most important part of his life. Initially joining the Ponce Rotary Club, he was later co-founder and first President of the El Vigia Rotary Roatry Club.
