The name MOC, refers to the Military Order of the Cootie, PT, means Pup Tent and 60 means we are identified by that number. "THE COOTIES ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST" of the VFW organization. They are the most dedicated members who perform duties involving the aid to hospitalized veterans and those who are sick or injured, providing blood, visitation, clothing and entertainment at VA medical centers and other non-VA facilities, such as nursing homes and civilian hospitals.

A Cootie is selected from the VFW Post membership by the Cootie Pup Tent, that member is invited to belong and it is a privilege for a VFW member to be invited to belong to the "HONOR DEGREE" of the VFW.

A member must have served in one or more major VFW post offices or appointed positions, Service officer, Post Commander, Senior Vice, Junior Vice, etc. for at least one year, be of outstanding character, be a dedicated VFW member and have a strong desire to promote the VFW and its programs.

The Cooties is not all just hard work, they are by far the fun bunch of a post. Any time you see a gathering of a group men and women wearing the white and red uniforms and that funny looking red sideways hat, you will quickly realize this is a very happy and fun loving group.
