WELCOME TO DEPARTMENT OF SOUTH CAROLINA

Commander Todd Haviland - 2025-2026 State Commander - "ALL THE WAY"
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. 
 

Commander's Corner

Commander Todd Haviland

Comrades,

 
I am both honored and humbled you have faith in me to be your State Commander for 2025-2026. "All the Way” is my motto. It worked as a paratrooper, and I want to bring that attitude and enthusiasm to the Department and hit the ground running.
 
Membership, Community Service and Fundraising are my priorities. We need to hit 101% …Being in the community will help with recruitment.
 
We’re going to work together this year to make sure we are helping veterans, their families and the community.
 
Let’s make this a stellar year.
 
All the Way!!!
Todd Haviland State Commander 2025-2026

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.
