Editorial from the Webmasters
The Department of Missouri Website is a living document dedicated to Missouri Veterans. The site is for the dissemination of news, information and ideas to the membership. With that said, we are asking members to share their activities and stories with us to pass along. We are wanting committee chairpersons to share what they are doing on a more regular basis. Receiving updates quarterly at the COA convention is fine, but it does not reflect current activities. We would like to publish a Newsletter at least Monthly to keep the membership in tune with the latest happenings. In addition, we know that several members were taking pictures at the COA. We would love to have you share them with us to post on the Department Gallery. All you need to do is email them to us with a description and we will do the rest.
Become an active participant in the Department Website. This is your chance to participate.

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.
