To veterans of Afghanistan: You are not alone in feeling the loss of a country you served in. Vietnam veterans have been there and done that. Member or not, you are welcome to visit the Brainerd VFW at 309 South 6th Street, Brainerd, MN. Hang in there, we've got your back.
Serving our community and our country. 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.
"There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met"
