Supreme Commander's Message

Listen Cooties,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome all the members of the Military Order of the
Cootie, and the Military Order of the Cootie Auxiliary to the 85th annual Trek to the
Tomb of the Unknown.

This weekend we came together from different parts of the world, and from different
walks of life. However here we are ready to honor all those who paid the ultimate
sacrifice for our freedom, and those veterans who have passed on.

Tomorrow while you are preparing to place your wreaths and when you are placing
your wreaths, remember always we are on sacred grounds and we are there to honor
those who are entombed there.

I would like to give thanks to the Tomb Trek committee for all that you do to make this
a memorable weekend.         

Each and every one attending this Trek to the Tomb should experience a sensation that
once experienced will make you want to return each year.

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

Remember the Cooties are about having fun, so let’s make it a fun weekend as well as
honoring those who have paid that ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and make the 85th
Tomb Trek one that will never be forgotten.

Yours in LOTCS,

Steve Ruger
Supreme Commander
