Once a soldier’s service in the active military is through, it doesn’t mean that they don’t continue to help their fellow veterans. Many veterans continue to feel the call of duty even once their discharge papers are signed and the American Legion Riders (and its chapters) are just one of the many motorcycle clubs who have veterans in their midst.

The American Legion Riders is a riding club directly affiliated with the American Legion. Each chapter rides out of the American Legion Post of that area. There are over 890 posts from 48 states with associated riding clubs. California currently has 27 chapters all over the state. Each post has agreed to and follows the rules set up by the Legion itself including conduct, charity and education.

The American Legion is a non-profit service organization that was started by Congress in 1919. Its programs serve veterans and their families. The nearly 15,000 Legion posts located throughout the country and across the world are highly charitable and help veterans in many, many ways.

To be eligible to join the American Legion, a person must have served honorably for any of the armed services during war time.
