The Darien VFW began in 1985 by a group of veterans who wanted to continue to serve their fellow veterans, members of the armed forces still serving, their families and the Darien-area community. Since that time, the post grew by assuming members from the Burr Ridge, Westmont, and Hinsdale VFW posts as they consolidated their operations.
The Darien VFW has provided tens of thousands of hours in community and veterans service along with hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of VFW programs, and community outreach and veterans assistance projects.
