BIKERS DOWN COMMITTEE     SEPT 15TH, 2008     

From The SAL Quarterly Update
- Rollin’ on down the highway

Riders program fastest-growing part of
The American Legion Family

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.     Members of the Legion, Auxiliary and S.A.L. are eligible to join the ALR. (American Legion Riders)

Riders are a very diverse group, and so are the programs that they support.

What do American Legion Riders do? The activities are far too many to mention in this space, but here are a few examples:

- 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 $5,000 or more in a single event.

- Legion Riders participate in the annual POW/MIA Rally held each Memorial weekend in Washington, DC 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 centers, various 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.
