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.

Dorothy and I have arrived back from the 125th national convention of the VFW.  We have been honored beyond belief to be able to represent you before such a great body of veterans. I have been reminded of why we do what we do and it’s not for money, fame or recognition.  I just want to help and give back. Thank you for letting me do that.
