Warm Wishes

As we reflect on our blessings this holiday, we are especially grateful for dedicated VFW members like you. This Thanksgiving let’s put thoughtful thanks back into the holiday … thanks for the opportunities we’ve been afforded, thanks to the generations of veterans who have sacrificed for our freedom, and thanks to the men and women currently serving around the world who will spend this holiday far from the comforts of home so that we may comfortably celebrate with family and friends.

Half Life Membership Incentive

Our Annual Half Life Membership Incentive is active. This is a great opportunity for recruiting new members and retaining our annual members.

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.
