U.S. ARMY

The U.S. Army is made up of the most dedicated, most respected soldiers in the world. These soldiers protect America's Freedoms while serving at home and abroad, and they are always prepared to defend the nation in times of need.

U.S. MARINES

We are soldiers of the sea, providing forces and detachments to naval ships and shore operations. We are global leaders, developing expeditionary doctrine and innovations that set the example, and leading other countries' forces and agencies in the multinational military operations. These unique capabilities make us "First to Fight", and our nations first line of defense.

U.S. NAVY

America's Navy is a force as relevant today as it's been historically significan for the last 238 years. The times may change, the threats may become more obscure, the complex nature of 21st century life may make the demand for such presence less obvious. However, now more than ever, the Navy is something to be aware of Something to be thankful for. Something to be proud of.

OUR MISSION


Announcements

Welcome to the official website of VFW Post 10173!

We are excited to introduce this new online home for our post, our members, veterans in our community, and everyone who supports the mission of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

For more than 50 years, VFW Post 10173 has proudly served veterans and the communities of Delavan, Darien, Walworth, and the surrounding area. While our traditions and commitment to service remain strong, we also recognize the importance of finding new ways to connect with veterans, families, and our community.

This website is one of those steps forward.

Here you will find information about upcoming events, post activities, community service projects, membership opportunities, and stories that highlight the people who make our post special. We will continue adding new content, photos, and historical information as we build this resource.

We also want to preserve the history of our post. If you have photographs, newspaper clippings, documents, or stories from past events or members, we would love to hear from you. Every piece of history helps tell the story of the veterans who have served before us and those continuing that tradition today.

Whether you are a current member, a veteran interested in learning more about the VFW, a family member, or a community supporter, we invite you to explore our website and stay connected.

Thank you for supporting VFW Post 10173. We look forward to sharing our story, serving our community, and continuing our mission for years to come.

Our post has a proud history of serving veterans and giving back to the communities of Delavan, Darien, Walworth, and the surrounding area. While our traditions remain strong, we also recognize the importance of staying connected in today's world. This website is one way we're doing that.
