Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over ten times the number of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is considering harming themselves, call 988 and get help.

The Buddy Poppy Program has helped the Veterans of Foreign Wars live up to its motto, “to honor the dead by helping the living.” In August 1922, they adopted the poppy as the official memorial flower of the VFW.

A satirical reflection by Author/Artist Phil Fehrenbacher

Phil enlisted in the Army in 1965 where you 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.
