VFW Post 8185 is located on HWY 222 in Port Deposit Maryland. Our post is named in honor of Army Private Jerry Skrivanek.
Private Jerry Skrivanek (1917-1943) was the first man from Port Deposit Maryland killed in action in World War II. He died July 23, 1943 in the Sicily campaign in Italy. Jerry Skrivanek didn't rise to a high military rank; his highest rank was Private at 26 years old. Local veterans wanted to ensure his name would carry on in perpetuity.
We also offer different themed food nights!!!!! A little something for everyone.
Gilchrist is pleased to invite Vietnam Veterans and their families to join us for a program in honor of their service to our country. A complimentary breakfast will be served.
