Coon Rapids VFW Post 9625 has been around for over 70 years! It was started by Veterans of WW2 and passed down to the Veterans of Korea and Vietnam, the Post has stood the test of time. Now our beloved post faces a new challenge, as our senior members are laid to rest, very few have stepped up to carry the torch. We are looking for a few good men and women to take their place and lead this post through another half century of serving our fellow vets, our community, and providing a safe environment for our youth.
If you would like to learn more about our VFW and it's history, please stop by the Post and pick up a copy of Maria King's book,
