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.
