Who We Are

Support and protect those who defended our freedoms

We are an Association of Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. As a registered 501(c)(19) veterans' charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms.

Our focus is to provide assistance and help to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, other veteran organizations and registered charities. We sponsor and participate in many veteran-related motorcycle (and other) charity events each year, and as a non-profit organization, donate to various veteran causes.

Know the Difference

An association — not a motorcycle club

Please note that we are an ASSOCIATION and NOT a MOTORCYCLE CLUB (MC).

  • Although we may be in a geographic area, we do not claim territory.
  • We do not have a club house.
  • We do not wear cuts or colors, but rather vests.
  • The patch on our back is one piece.
