Military Order of the Devil Dogs (MODD)

Woof! Listen up, pups! The MODD is the fun and honor society of the Marine Corps League.[2] Good Marines who belong to the League can sniff their way into the Kennel, where we bark, we growl, and we have a doggone good time while we serve our fellow Marines, veterans, and our community. Ask any Devil Dog at a meeting and we'll fetch you the details. Grrrr-ruff!

Sniff out more at the Military Order of the Devil Dogs (National).

Military Order of the Devil Dog Fleas (MODD Fleas)

Scratch, scratch! Every good dog has fleas, and ours are the best! The Military Order of the Devil Dog Fleas is the fun and fellowship organization of the Marine Corps League Auxiliary.[3] Fleas, Crawlers, and Eggs hop along with the pack to support veterans, Marines, their families, and the community, with plenty of Flea-style fun.[3] Itching to join?
