1950s Military Veteran Order Of Cootie Medal Badge Clip-on Necktie VFW Honor Degree.

The Military Order of the Cootie was established in Washington, D.C., by Fred C. Madden and F. L. Gransbury in 1920.

The organization was modeled after the Imperial Order of the Dragon, United Spanish American War Veterans.

The name \"cootie\" is a reference to the lice that US Soldiers in WWI contracted and spread to one another. Ultimately the Cooties (lice) saved many soldiers lives by accident. The troops were so badly infested with these lice that they weren\'t even aware they were keeping their heads down in the trenches avoiding insurgent gun fire.

The Honor Degree of the VFW and Cootie members are comprised of the officers and leadership of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Two famous members and world leaders notably were 33rd President Harry Truman and 41st President George Bush Sr.
