Mahlum-Hanson VFW Post 1647, Brainerd, MN, USA
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"
