2024 Department of New York VFW Oral History Project

We have contracted with Publishing Concepts, Inc. to help collect stories from as many members as possible in order to produce the 2024 Department of New York VFW Oral History Project. Postcards and emails have gone out to New York State VFW members asking them to call and verify their membership information. This is not a scam.  The project is open only to our members.  Please consider telling your story - there is no obligation to purchase a book or any additional items.  The Department is looking to preserve the stories and memories of our members who have served.

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.
