Military order of the devil dogs Pound 367 Poudre Bulldogs

During WW1 in 1914, Marines from the fifth and sixth Regiments fought the Germans in an area known as Belleau woods.  The Marines  tenacity and fighting ability during that battle earned them the title "Teufel Hunden" or Devil Dogs, from the Germans.  Rumor says that the Marines fought their way up the hill, the heat caused them to sweat profusely, foam at the mouth and turned their eyes bloodshot, and at some points the hill was so steep it caused the Marines to climb up it on all fours. From the Germans' vantage point, they witnessed a pack of tenacious, growling figures wearing gas masks, with bloodshot eyes and mouth foam seeping from the sides, advancing up the hill, sometimes on all fours, killing everything in their way. As the legend goes, the German soldiers, upon seeing this spectacle, began to yell that they were being attacked by "dogs from hell."   Later the French renamed the woods to "Bois De La Brigade De Marine" or Wood of the Marine Brigade. 

Founded in 1939 in Boston Massachusetts, the M.O.D.D was organized as the "Fun and Honor Society" of the Marine Corps League. It was founded to give MCL Convention Delegates, "time to blow off steam".  It was chartered 19 March 1940.  A regular member, in good standing with the Marine Corps League, after one year,  can join the M.O.D.D. & must be recommended by two M.O.D.D. Members.
