Serving our country and our community. The Brainerd VFW is a friendly place. Nestled in the heart of downtown Brainerd, you'll find us at 309 South Sixth Street. It is a gathering spot for active military, veterans and non-veterans. Brainerd's mayor occasionally stops in to read the pulse of the community. You can too and join our group.
