Our VFW Post
Picture
We are in Paul Bunyan Land; hence the VFW Post 1647 logo has Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.  

We are a crew of fun veterans and auxiliary members who get together at least once a month to enjoy each other's company.  T
here are 279 Post members and 321 Auxiliary members in this organization.  Brainerd VFW Post 1647 is here to serve men and women veterans, their families, the military, and our community.  

Every eligible veteran, in the area, should be a member of this VFW.  It is a friendly place.​


Picture
The website Events menu has at least 34 annual activities.  They are arranged chronologically into three groups, so they are easy to find.  ​

​Also see the 
2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 News Story pages. ​

It is a fact that the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization has 1.5 million men and woman members throughout this country.   Member numbers count when it comes to state and national legislation.  All eligible veterans should be members.
Picture
A veteran -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or in reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America, for an amount of up to, and including, his or her life.  That is honor, courage, and sacrifice.  There are far too many people, in this country today, who no longer understand that fact.  Quoted From: Warsaw, North Carolina, Veteran's Museum.
