Thank you for your service. Now it's time to prepare for your next important mission: You.

Thank you for your previous and continued service to our country! Concordia University is the home of the first American Legion post on a college campus in the state of Wisconsin, Post 1881. Why the number? Because Concordia University first opened its doors to students in 1881. Our Post consists of students, alumni, faculty and staff. As a Non-For Profit Lutheran institution that demonstrates the core values of being Military Friendly, you can be assured that we are committed to providing first class service and support to our Active, Reserve, and Veteran personnel and their families.

What your fellow Veterans have to say about Concordia:

"The veterans department played an integral role in helping me graduate with my bachelor’s degree 18 months ahead of scheduled."
