The American Legion Riders
More than 1,500 American Legion Rider chapters, organized by local American Legion posts and departments worldwide, ride in support of America's future. Legion Riders help maintain American Legion programs in every state and in several countries overseas. One of the fastest growing and most highly visible of the many activities offered by The American Legion, the Legion Riders ride for the community, state and nation.
American Legion Riders chapters and districts, nationally, have raised over $5.27 MILLION for the
American Legion Legacy Fund.
Legion Riders participate in the annual POW/MIA Rally held each Memorial weekend in Washington D.C. known as "Rolling Thunder".
Legion Riders sponsor or participate in local and national charity events in support of the sponsoring American Legion Post.
Legion Riders ride to raise money for such organizations as local VA Hospitals, Battered Women and Children's Center, Varied Children and Youth programs, a School for Blind Children, Veterans Relief, Needy families and many, many others.
Legion Riders founded a national movement called “Patriot Guard” (www.patriotguard.org) that honors and protects the sanctity of military funerals and memorial services.
Legion Riders have formed special motorcycle Honor Guards and ceremonial teams highlighting the special bonds formed in military service and the motorcycling community.
Legion Riders have also begun to teach motorcycle and driver safety in the community and in schools in cooperation with ABATE and other national motorcycling organizations.
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 a win/win situation for your post, district, and Department!
