Legislation

The Dept of NJ Legislative Team has been leading the way walking the halls of Congress advocating for all veterans. In both Washington DC and Trenton, we are the voice that represents veterans everywhere and defends their rights and benefits. Our team stands for veterans every time.

Buddy Poppies

Before Memorial Day in 1922, we conducted our first poppy distribution, becoming the first veterans' organization to organize a nationwide distribution. The poppy soon was adopted as the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, as it remains today.

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.
