Supreme Commander's Message
Listen Cooties,
On the Road Again
I arrived home last night with my family from the Grand of Pacific Areas convention. Very good week with old and new friends. The convention was held on the former Subic Bay Naval Station, which brought back many memories. And, after talking with a number of you many fond memories for you as well.
Closing the Year
With many Grand conventions completed for the year we will soon be joining together in New Orleans for the VFW National and MOC Supreme conventions. I am looking forward to it with mixed feelings, but I’m confident with the officers who will lead us in the next few years. A few issues came up that we were successful in resolving at the local level. That demonstrates our leadership at all levels can resolve these matters at the lowest level. Just like when we were on active duty. Well done! I applaud them for that.
VFW First – Cootie Proud
Over the years I have listened and observed some VFW and MOC members with indifferent attitudes from one side to the other. When I ask why they are against one or the other I have never received a reasonable explanation that never went beyond trivial personalities or politics.
I ask that as Cooties we fully support the VFW Posts we belong to. “Reaching Out” to our Posts participating in Post activities as members of the Post and as members of the honor degree of the VFW, the Military Order of Cootie. Show the VFW membership why you were selected for nomination to join the MOC; because of your active participation in your VFW Post. Most of you do just that and I am proud of you!
Thank you for what you do for veterans and our organization. See you in July!
Should you need any assistance from Supreme please contact our Supreme Headquarters who will ensure it is coordinated with the correct officer.
“Reaching Out” to “Keep Them Smiling in Beds of White”
Yours in Comradeship and L.O.T.C.S.,
James D. Malott
Supreme Commander
2016-2017
