The Military Order of the Cootie of the United States is a non-profit  Veterans Service Organization. We are known as "The Honor Degree of the  VFW"  and our members are comprised of the officers and leadership of  the  Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Membership in the MOC is  recognition of outstanding service to the VFW and its programs.
 

       Founded in New York City on September 17, 1920, the MOC is   based on the principals of good humor and fun. Over the past ninety  years, the  Cooties have provided social and entertainment programs to  members of the  Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. as an Ancillary  unit within the  organization. Since 1923, our first year as a part of  the VFW, the Cooties have  worked hard to further the aims of the VFW  while adding to it the frivolity  known as Military Humor to the serious  work of our parent organization. What  would ultimately become known as  the VFW National Home for Children, a  sprawling campus of homes  located in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, started out as the  brainchild of the  MOC. We firmly believe in caring for the widows and children  of our  Armed Forces. Literally millions of dollars have been raised and donated   to help "our kids" over our history; starting with the library, the   swimming pool, the Fire Department, and a host of other projects  designed to  make life fun and educational for the children during their  stay at the  National Home.

With your help, we can continue to support programs that:

  • Award grants to VFW Posts, Auxiliaries and Departments as well as qualifying  nonprofits providing the vital support America's heroes and their  families deserve.
  • Provide scholarships to student veterans the financial assistance they need to complete  their educational goals without incurring excessive student loan debt.
  • Support troops and their families in need of financial assistance for housing, medical or basic life needs with a grant.
  • Sponsor “welcome home” and “send off” events to boost the morale of returning or deployed military units.
  • Offer military veterans, regardless of when or where they served, with VFW counsel and assistance to successfully navigate VA entitlement and disability claims. 
  • Reward America’s military heroes and their families by sponsoring admission to popular entertainment events and attractions.



 https://vfwauxiliary.org/about-us/

Established 1914, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the  United States Auxiliary set out to serve the veterans of this country  and our communities in honor of the sacrifices and commitment of every  man and woman who has served in uniform. The VFW Auxiliary is one of the  nation’s oldest veterans’ service organizations and our members are the  relatives of those who served in a location of foreign conflict. Nearly  470,000 members in more than 3,600 Auxiliaries nationwide who volunteer  millions of hours and fundraise millions of dollars for charitable  projects that benefit veterans, military service personnel and their  families.

Through our National Programs, we assist the VFW pass or block  legislation that impacts veterans and their families, provide nearly a  million volunteer hours in the VA medical system, conduct patriotic  programs with thousands of students and offer hundreds of thousands of  dollars in scholarships for our nation’s youth.

Here are a few ways Auxiliary members across America serve veterans, service members and their families, and their communities:

  • Suicide Awareness: Saving Lives One Sign at at Time
  • Nickels for the Nursery
  • A Family of Firsts
  • Remembering Veterans with Flags of Honor
  • Aloha & Therapy: A Rehabilitative Scuba Trip
  • Sowing Seeds, Growing Goodwill

  • Smiles for Veterans
  • Nebraska Group Sends Care Packages Half a World Away
  • Twin Missions: Sisters Support Veterans Together

 Every week thousands of tickets are available to veterans,  service members, and family members of those killed in action enabling  them go to major sports games, concerts, and many other ticketed events.  

Vet Tix is committed to helping put veterans and service  members (including Reserve and Guard) in empty seats at games and events  across the nation.  We are a nonprofit that channels more than 95  percent of its revenues directly into programs. Since 2008, we have had  the pleasure to distribute more than 11 million free tickets to over  1,787,723 VetTixers.

To become a Vet Tix member, just complete  the form below. Once you have created an account and verified your  military service, you can review and apply for tickets to hundreds of  other upcoming events across the country.

Vet Tix has both  donated tickets and discounted ticket offers.  Other than a very small  delivery fee, all donated tickets are free!  With certain partnerships,  once donated tickets have been claimed, additional discounted  opportunities will be made available.

At the heart of Sport Clips’ culture is our values system, which was  inspired by the same core values Coach Lou Holtz used to build  championship football teams: "Do Your Best. Do What's Right. Treat  Others the Way They Want to Be Treated.” Gordon and his family put these  values to action in 2013 when they pledged to donate $1 million to  Georgetown, Texas-area nonprofits, where Sport Clips, Inc. is based, and  have been recognized for their philanthropic work with numerous  programs including Habitat for Humanity, R.O.C.K, and the Boys and Girls  Club, and the Gratitude Initiative.

As a veteran, Gordon has also made it his mission to support the  military. He has received the VFW’s famed “Citizenship Award”, and since  2007, Sport Clips stores across the nation have worked together to  raise nearly $8 Million for the VFW Foundation through our annual “Help A  Hero” fundraiser, which has helped more than is providing scholarships  for nearly 1,500 veterans and active duty service men and women who are  transitioning to civilian careers. Sport Clips, nationally and at the  local-level, is also a proud supporter of the American Red Cross Blood  Services, Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation, St. Baldrick's Foundation,  the Aleethia Foundation, Honor Flight Austin, and others

We saw a need and we filled it.

Everyone knows that our nation’s military has been fighting the War  on Terror for over seventeen years now with no real end in sight. What  you may not know is that the numerous, lengthy combat deployments, and  heightened operational tempo have created the most significant stressors  on our all-volunteer force and their families in our military’s  history.

The founders of Gratitude Initiative realized that although there  were organizations providing scholarships to specific groups of children  to help defray some of the costs for college, there was no organization  providing a full-service comprehensive college and career preparatory  program to military and veteran children from middle school through  college graduation.

In November of 2015, Gratitude Initiative launched the GI College  Success Academy providing a full-service college and career preparatory  program to military and veteran children. The College Success Academy is  delivered online to support a military family anywhere around the globe  and is backed up by a team of live degreed counselors that work  directly with the children and their parents via email, phone, or chat.

GI is now serving families in over twenty-two states and as far away  as Europe, Japan, Korea, and all points in between. The program has  produced incredible results in just three short years (click to see results) and GI has a waiting list of deserving students standing by for enrollment
