August 19, 2022: Members of the 194th Armor Regiment, family and Brainerd VFW members traveled to Camp Ripley to see live fire training of the Army's Abrams M1A1 SA Main Battle Tank, similar to the ones used in the Gulf War.  More details at Camp Ripley.

This was a great opportunity to get up close and personal with the new tank. Seeing it in action was a real eye opener.

Blaine:

Glad you found the Brainerd VFW blog. It was an experimental page on the website and not in the menu system until now. The goal is to tell the story about service to our country and veterans.
