Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time 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 suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

Membership

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.

We host an Auxiliary Charter that is open to anyone who is eligible for the Auxiliary but who does not qualify for the VFW.  We encourage all men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States and to those who are related to someone who has served to apply. You need only wish to help the American Veteran and to be steadfast in your love of our great country.
 




IN-COUNTRY

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.
