VFW Riverview Post 8108

Post 8108 was founded in 1995 by a small group of veterans using a pickup truck as their post. It has grown from the back of a pickup to a small room in which all post functions, both fun and business, were conducted. As the membership expanded the post expanded as well to include a full meeting hall, a full sized restaurant kitchen and a full service bar.

We are called the River Rats as we are located along the Alifia River and we are proud to stake the claim of “The friendliest post in Florida”. We have many different vintages of veterans, from the Korean Conflict to the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Men and Women alike, we are all veterans and proud to serve and help each other.

Our post has a vibrant and active Ladies and Men’s Auxiliary. These ladies and gentleman are the wives, husbands, brothers and sisters of fellow veterans across the country. We, the Post and the Auxiliaries, are a family that pulls together to build a community to support all of our veterans. We help those just coming home from war, we have been there also, to those that have been home for years and looking for the comradery of years past. We are Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines… we are the ones that held on in the frozen mountains of Korea, the ones on patrol in the jungles of Vietnam, the ones that stormed across the deserts. And a few that were someplace they aren’t supposed to talk about… We are the ones that will never forget our comrades that are still missing. We are Riverview Memorial Post 8108!
