Big Boot Program

Subject: This mission has been developed to reduce the Veteran Suicide Rate commonly referred
to as “22 a day”. Now there has been some adjustments to these numbers in the past few years i.e.
In 2019 the Veteran suicide rate fell to 17.2% according to VA study. That is a good thing…
Right??? Kind of, because there are studies to suggest the percentage is much much higher than 22 a
day.

We need to what we can to get that number to zero. Understand that I have no illusions that we will
ever get to that number. However, doing nothing is unacceptable. It is time we as Cooties and
Auxiliary try to do something about it. This is a plan that we will never know the true impact of
or efforts until after we have tried it. However, we have to start somewhere, to do nothing we will
have failed in our mission as VFW and MOC members to try to help every veteran to live a long and
prosperous life. The reason for the boot being utilized as the symbol is that we need to show the
Veterans they are not alone and we will help walk with them through their journey to recovery. If
you are looking at this like…”Oh Great just another thing we have do to get a check in the box.”
Then you are not looking at it as intended. We really do not need to hear the negative on how this
won’t work or can’t work. I would rather hear how we “CAN” make this work. Let’s figure this out
together. So, Please embrace the idea and intent behind this effort and make a conjoined effort to
“Keep‘em Vertical” so we can “Keep’em Smilin’ in Beds of White”, when the time comes.

MOC HOSPITALIER KNIGHTS PROGRAM

Knights1

The MOC has issued a special medal as a fund raiser for the organization. During the Crusades the first knights to enter the Holy Lands opened a hospital. They were named Hospitalier Knights. Later the Knights moved to the Island of Malta. They were than named Knights of Malta. Thus the Cross of Malta was formed by placing four lance heads together.

The Cross of Malta was adopted as the official logo of the VFW. Since the MOC is the Honor Degree of the VFW and since the MOC is the order that services the hospitals and cares for veterans and their families, it is only fitting that the medal be named “HOSPITALIER KNIGHT”. This medal comes in Bronze ($25.00), Silver ($35.00) and gold ($45.00). The application is attached with this program. Also, please remember to add $3.50 for postage and handling.

The Red Star Program is Alive and Well!


       And still signing up Life members! 
If you are a Life member of our Crummy Fraternity, you may or may not be aware of a program that was started a few years ago.  Back in 2005, Past Supreme Commander Tom Tweet proposed a program to help out the Supreme organization.

   We were redesigning the Life Membership card and changing it from a white card to a gold-colored card.  The cards were being redesigned since we were about to run out of the old white ones.  Past Supreme Commander Tweet suggested that every Life Member replace their card with the new gold card.  He then mentioned that when the U.S. Mint replaces a semi-destroyed dollar bill, it re-issues the serial number, but places a little star in front of the serial number.  He suggested that we start up a program similar to that program, only the Life Member would have his Life Member number re-issued on the new gold colored card and a red star would be placed in front of the Life Member number signifying that a second donation had been made to help the MOC.

Since then, hundreds of Cooties have applied to become Red Star Life Members.  The only question that remains is:  Are YOU a Red Star Life Member yet?  To become one of the "Lousy" elite simply contact Supreme Quartermaster Gary Dressel at supremehqmoc@lotcs. org. Or go to the Cootie Depot and purchase your Red Star Life Membership online by going to: https://www.lotcs.org/WA_ eCart/life_member.php#RedStarLMCard.
