On this Thanksgiving Day, we pause with full hearts to give thanks for the greatest blessings we have: our freedom, our families, our comrades, and the unbreakable spirit of service that binds us together.
To every Pup Tent Member, Seam Squirrel, and seasoned Cootie who has worn the red hat with pride, thank you. Thank you for your service in uniform when duty called, and thank you for your continued service bringing smiles to hospitalized veterans, lifting spirits in VA, and keeping the VFW’s mission alive with your unique brand of fellowship and fun
Today, as we gather around tables laden with turkey, stuffing, and all the trimmings, may your plates be full, your glasses never empty, and your hearts overflow with gratitude for the brotherhood we share. May the laughter be loud, the stories taller than ever, and the knowledge that what we do still matters,
From one grateful American to the finest bunch of lice-infested patriots this country has ever known: Happy Thanksgiving! Keep the faith, keep the fun, and keep on cootie-ing!
Yours in L.O.T.C.S!
Grand Commander, Military Order of the Cootie Grand of Georgia
