Coon Rapids VFW Donates Flag to Anoka-Ramsey Community College Veterans’ Center

The Coon Rapids Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) delivered a flag and pole to the new Veterans’ Center at Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC) Coon Rapids Campus Jan. 10, 2007. The Veterans’ Center is part of an initiative by ARCC to facilitate veterans’ re-entry into civilian life and welcome them to higher education with services and resources beginning the Spring term. The MDVA has authorized a work-study student veteran to help staff the center.

Robert Faucett, past Post Commander (left) and Jerry Brletich, past 7th District Commander deliver the flag donated by the Coon Rapids Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9625 to the Veterans’ Center at Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC) that opens to returning veterans Jan. 16.

"We're happy that the Coon Rapids VFW made this donation to Anoka-Ramsey’s Veterans’ Center,” says ARCC TRIO Director, Cindy Nutter. “Hopefully there will be more opportunities for us to work together as a resource for veteran students."

Through the Montgomery G.I. Bill, eligible soldiers and veterans qualify for up to 36 months of education benefits to help fund educational opportunities, such as college courses, degrees and certifications, necessary to obtain, keep or advance in a job.
