=== V.F.W. Post 5115 ===
The VFW post was organized on December 2, 1945. It was named after Sander Jacobson who lost his life in active duty during World War II. The VFWs first meeting was held in Forsythe's Hall with 65 charting members. An old potato house was rented for the first meeting place in 1946 and continued to be the meeting place until the potato harvest forced the organization to find a new location. The meetings were then moved to any available place until an old store, known as the Brandvold Store, was bought in 1948. This building was used until 1961. when it was torn down and the present building was built. In 1974 a new 40 by 80-foot addition was built. Over the past years the VFW has sponsored and helped many organizations such as school scholarships, Voice of Democracy, baseball teams, softball teams, skating rink, cemetery funds, military funerals, Memorial Day programs, cancer research, Camp Courage, Fire Department, National home, wheel chairs and crutches for the homes and needy people and many more charities.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lundberg |first=Henry |date=January 16, 2023 |title=Veterans of Foreign Wars |url=https://www.allbiz.com/business/veterans-of-foreign-wars_29561-218-596-8835 |access-date=January 16, 2023 |website=All Biz}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last1=Dinsmore |first1=Harold |title=Spanning the Century, The History of Ulen, Minnesota 1886-1986 |last2=Holman |first2=Dale |last3=Knopfler |first3=Mary |last4=Eldora |first4=Lunde |last5=Syverson |first5=Kim |publisher=The Ulen Union |year=1986 |location=Ulen, Minnesota}}</ref>
