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.

As we welcome November, we enter one of the most meaningful months of the year for our VFW family. It is a time to honor our veterans, reflect on their sacrifices, give thanks for our blessings, and recognize the many individuals who make VFW Post 401 a place of service, camaraderie, and fellowship.
As we continue through the 2026–2027 VFW year, I am proud of the dedication and teamwork demonstrated by our members, Auxiliary, volunteers, and supporters. Our Post continues to move forward because of your commitment to our mission.
Veterans Day is a time to honor the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We recognize their courage, sacrifices, and dedication to protecting the freedoms we enjoy today.
I encourage everyone to take a moment to thank a veteran, attend a ceremony, or reach out to a fellow service member. To all our veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
NOVEMBER 14 — AUXILIARY CAR SHOW & CRAFT FAIR
Our dedicated VFW Auxiliary 401 will be hosting its Car Show and Craft Fair. I encourage everyone to attend, volunteer, and support this event. Our Auxiliary works tirelessly to support veterans and our community, and their success is our success.
NOVEMBER 19 — NATIONAL AUXILIARY PRESIDENT'S VISIT
We are honored to welcome the VFW Auxiliary National President to Post 401. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the pride, hospitality, and teamwork of our Post and Auxiliary. I encourage everyone to help make this visit a memorable one.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to personally thank our Post officers, members, Auxiliary members, patrons, volunteers, and especially our bar volunteers for their continued dedication and support. To everyone who attends our events, karaoke nights, pool nights, dinners, and fundraisers, your participation helps keep our Post active and thriving.
Whether you volunteer your time, prepare a meal, attend an event, or simply lend a helping hand, your contributions make a difference and are sincerely appreciated.
As your Commander, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside such dedicated individuals. Let us continue working together, supporting one another, and keeping the mission of the VFW at the heart of everything we do.
I wish everyone a meaningful Veterans Day and a safe, happy, and blessed Thanksgiving.
