WELCOME TO RODNEY J. HOBBS POST

VFW Post 1809
Our Post is named for Rodney J. Hobbs of Eros, LA.  Rodney enlisted in the military at the age of 20.  He served overseas from June 12, 1917, until his death on July 21, 1918, and his engagements included Cantigny, 2nd Battle of Narne.
 
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.  Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.

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.
