Who are the Cooties? I heard you ask.
I will explain them to you, its no task.
They are Veterans of Foreign Wars, The Honor Degree; also the active workers of the VFW and all cooties are always there to answer the call.
Their little red hat was proudly won, in an outfit, based on humor and fun.
A dedication to which they will ever stick, to visit their buddies, the disabled and sick.
The Cooties practice their Moto with all their might to "keep'em smiling in Beds of White"
Now you know and clearly see, just why the Cotties are called "THE HONOR DEGREE"
