We are a courageous group of Veterans, Sons, and Auxiliary that assemble together in harmony to promote and protect American values while serving our community and preserving our Constitution. We ride fast and hard to accomplish our goals, but slow down to guide and honor those that have departed ranks. We proudly hold our flag high for the world to see and protect her with all diligence. Today across America many thousands of American Legion Riders get on their bikes to ride for Americanism and Youth programs in virtually every state in the nation, and more are organizing each month. One of the fastest-growing and most highly visible of the many programs offered by The American Legion, The American Legion Riders are a very diverse group, and so are the programs that they support. Remember: American Legion Riders are a very dedicated group of Legion Family members. When your Post or district sponsors a new Riders organization, you create an atmosphere of enthusiasm and growth for your post, district, and Department!
Currently, 106,000 American Legion Riders meet in over a thousand chapters in every domestic department and in at least three foreign countries. Riders in Iowa have formed an honor guard called The Five Star Freedom Riders, and Riders in Mulvane, Kan., founded the Patriot Guard to protect the sanctity of military funerals from protesters. Riders in all states have escorted military units returning home from combat tours overseas, conducted massive cross-country fundraising events for wounded warriors from all services, and have raised millions of dollars for countless local, state and national charities.
True to the Legion's grassroots tradition, each chapter manages its programs at the post level, where the best ideas are born. The Riders are part of many projects and events, including:
We ARE NOT, nor do we claim to be, a motorcycle club.
We DO NOT have colors.
We DO NOT prospect.
We DO NOT claim territory.
We DO have membership fees.
