We are global leaders, developing expeditionary doctrine and innovations that set the example, and leading other countries' forces and agencies in the multinational military operations.

WELCOME TO MAYAGUEZ MEMORIAL VFW POST 11575

Serving U.S. Veterans Throughout Cambodia
Mayaguez Memorial VFW Post 11575 is dedicated to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who fought and supported "The Last Battle", the American effort in May 1975 to free the S.S. Mayaguez and its crew from the Khmer Rouge.  The first and only VFW post in a former Communist country, our post is unique in its location, membership and mission. One of our top priorities is to ensure a full accounting and recovery of our comrades who are still listed as MIA.  We invite all American veterans to join us in our mission.

IN-COUNTRY

A satirical reflection by Author/Artist Phil Fehrenbacher

Phil enlisted in the Army in 1965 where he 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.
