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.

Commander's Corner

Commander Mark P Stayton

Well the time is getting short for me.  I want to thank all of you for your help and support over the last several years.  We've come a long way and it wouldn't have been possible without you.  From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.  As the incoming Department of Delaware Commander, I want to make the Department more "Post friendly" if that's possible.  We will try to get the Patriots Pen and Voice of Democracy back on track.
 
Come out to the Milford High School auditorium on Memorial Day to see our community program.  It starts @ 10:30AM.  Rain or shine.
 
Please give the help and attention to the new officers; Chris Lucas, Eric Guest, Chuck Tice, and Ken Lutz.
