The Northbrook Veterans Center at 1354 Shermer Road is the storefront home of Post 791, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10236, the American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion, and the American Legion Riders. Koeppen and her then spouse, the late John Koeppen, took their American flag off a pole by the home’s front door on 9/11/2001, placing the flag on the exterior fence side for all people.
