For a Kenyon veteran
County veterans service is organized by county of residence, so a Kenyon resident's claims file belongs with Goodhue County in Red Wing. Rice County's page is still the best local listing of the area's posts, and its office sits two blocks from CareerForce Faribault and the Faribault Legion and DAV.
