WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO
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)(3) 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. Our Mission Statement is Veterans Helping Veterans.
​
Our membership is comprised of Full Members (those with verified combat service), Supporter Members (those who have non-combat military service and have a strong dedication to helping veterans), and Auxiliary Members (Spouses of both Full and Support members). We have members from all 50 states and numerous countries abroad, including combat areas.
​
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.
OUR COLORS
as told by "The Patch on My Back"
My vest is full of patches both old and new,
Representing places I've been and things I do.
Most in the front and layered in a stack,
But none say more than the batch on my back.
I earned it in battle as a combat vet,
It services as a constant reminder to never forget.
The first thing you'll notice is the skull and spade,
Reminder that the debt of war is never paid.
Every color has a meaning and a story to tell,
And every story has a meaning we all know too well.
To show unity as soldiers we use the military gold,
For every branch of service both new and old.
Red represents the blood that my brothers have bled,
Not all known by me, but a tear for each I've shed.
With heavy hearts we display the symbolic color black,
For the missing, the prisoners, and those who never made it back.
Yes I know it's just a patch - made of cloth and thread,
But because of what it means, I'll respect it until the day I'm dead.
