A satirical reflection by Author/Artist Phil Fehrenbacher
Phil enlisted in the Army in 1965 where he served for years in Vietnam. He became a graphic designer and has worked for the state of Oregon for 26 years. He retired in 2003 and started the Cartoon "In-Country". The cartoons reflect his experiences during his tour of duty in South Vietnam.
There is a new cartoon everyday.

Welcome to the 2026–2027 VFW Year
Welcome to a new VFW year!
Each July brings with it a fresh beginning—a chance to reflect on where we've been, celebrate what we've accomplished, and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead. It is a time to renew our commitment to serving our veterans, supporting our communities, and strengthening the bonds of camaraderie that make the Veterans of Foreign Wars such a remarkable organization.
The success of our Post is built on the dedication of our members, volunteers, and families. Whether you are a longtime member or joining us for the first time, you play an important role in our mission. Together, we can continue to honor the sacrifices of those who served by ensuring that no veteran is forgotten and every act of service makes a difference.
As we begin the 2026–2027 year, I encourage each of us to get involved, lend a helping hand, welcome new faces, and embrace the opportunities to serve. Every meeting attended, every project completed, and every hour volunteered helps strengthen our Post and our community.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and to one another. I am honored to serve as your Commander and look forward to working alongside each of you in the year ahead.
Here's to a successful, meaningful, and memorable 2026–2027 VFW year.
Welcome, and let's make this our best year yet!
