Listen up you low down slimy creatures...Being duly elected (conned more like it) as Seam Squirrel of Pup Tent 57 for the year 2010-2011 and being the crummiest of them all I hereby reserve the right to Stray...Delete...forget...Add or Decrease...to tune you out and just fade away as I may see fit at the time...

Yep...that low down vermin who coined the term "Head Chipmunk" is at it once again and would like to see all of you no good lousy so called Cooties crawl on your bellies to Gettysburg VFW Post 15 at 2pm...and may the fangs of the Great Blouse tear you apart bit by bit and may the Sulphur Ointment of Happiness dry up and vanish forever to those who can...but choose no to attend...Are you a member or just another Card Carrier???you decide...if your the latter you may not have a card to carry next year...

Since 1920 the Military Order of the Cootie has helped millions and millions of veterans and their family and orphans...held blood drives after blood drives...Donated and participated with the children in our National Home...Laid wreaths at Vet graves in Arlington....brought plenty of laughter...smiles and tears to the eyes of many old and young forgotten Veterans wasting away in Nursing homes...VA's...Retirement villages and more...That was then...this is today...Pup Tents are folding up or merging with other Pup Tents left and right all across the country due to a lack of interest and attendance of members...Our Pup Tent is on the verge of joining them...for the past eight years...longer for some...it has been the same six to nine members holding it all together by maintaining their chairs and positions because there was just no one else willing and we did not want to lose the charter...once gone...gone forever...sadly this will not do any longer if we are to continue to "Keep 'Em Smiling in Beds of White"...

Throughout the years the fun part was lost and the politics began...there was arguing...hostile intentions towards other members...knives in the back and dagger eyes...disrespect...rudeness and ignorance and just plain wrong things...This too will not do nor will it be tolerated if we are to survive...anyone in this position or mind set may be dismissed from the Scratch as the Seam Squirrel sees fit...We are all Veterans...a special kind of Americans who took and continue to make oaths to our God and Country and Organizations to do all in our power to aid fellow veterans and their families...whether you like a guy or not should never even enter the equation...

No one wants nor needs to travel to a meeting and get hammered on...we are all volunteers...we do it from our hearts and because it is a Just Cause...we don't get paid except for the glow in our hearts...we are

Veterans...all of us...not one better then another...attend the Scratches and leave all the Bull Crap at the door and share some Sulphur Ointment of Happiness with fellow scum and sewer creatures for a few hours...let us commit to the cause at hand...if this Pup Tent does not revive to its' former state of comradeship and brotherhood and most importantly...the fun and laughter hand in hand with the goals of making life a bit better for a veteran young or old and to be there for them then I fear we will also join the ranks of those with no interest and no charter for the Order of the Cootie...Will an Honor Degree exist?? The good we do and a tradition lost or not...in the end is your call my brother...This is the 90th Anniversary of the Cootie by they way...

Yours in Comradeship
