VFW Podcast promotes establishing Grand Pup Tents

What does it take to re-establish a Grand of the Military Order of the Cootie (MOC)? In this episode of Cootie Trench Talk & AuxSILLYry Spirit, we sit down with the MOC Grand of Georgia to talk about the effort to rebuild, reorganize, and strengthen the Cootie presence in Georgia—and how that process can also help promote and grow the Military Order of the Cootie Auxiliary (MOCA).

Re-establishing a Grand is about more than rebuilding an organizational structure. It's about bringing Cooties together, developing leadership, strengthening local Pup Tents, encouraging membership, and creating opportunities for the Auxiliary to grow alongside the MOC.

During this conversation, we explore the challenges and opportunities involved in bringing a Grand back to Georgia, the importance of communication and cooperation, and why the MOC and Auxiliary are stronger when they work together.

Whether you're a current Cootie, Auxiliary member, VFW member, veteran, family member, or someone interested in getting involved, this episode provides an inside look at the work being done to build a stronger future for the Cootie organization in Georgia.

Rebuilding the Grand isn't just about bringing back an organization—it's about building a stronger team.
