Today over 425 American Legion Riders programs, organized by chapters, districts, or departments, support Americanism and Children 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.

 

What do American Legion Riders do?
1

American Legion Riders chapters and districts, nationally have become some of the most generous donors
for the American Legacy Scholarship Fund, raising as much as $15,000 or more in a single event.

2

Participate in the annual POW/MIA Rally held each Memorial weekend in Washington D.C. 

3

Sponsor or participate in local and national charity events in support of the sponsoring American Legion Post.

4

Ride to raise money for such organizations as our local Veterans Home, Veteran Support Organizations, Varied
Children and Youth Programs, Veterans Relief, Needy Families and many, many others.

5
Founded a national movement called “Patriot Guard” (www.patriotguard.org) that honors and protects the
sanctity of military funerals and memorial services.

6
Formed special motorcycle Honor Guards and ceremonial teams highlighting the special bonds formed
in military service and the motorcycling community.

7
Teach motorcycle and driver safety in the community and in schools in co-operation with ABATE and

 Remember: American Legion Riders are a very dedicated group of Legion Family members.

We are not a club, but an association of Legion, Sons of the American Legion and Auxiliary members

who combine our love of riding with service to our community
