The American Legion
Riders
Today across America many
thousands of American Legion Riders get on their bikes to ride
for 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? The activities are far too many to mention in this
space, but here are a few examples:
American Legion Riders have
become some of the most generous donors for The American
Legion Legacy Fund, commonly raising as much as $7,500 or more
in a single donation.
Legions riders participate
in the annual POW/MIA Rally held each Memorial weekend in
Washington D.C. Known as “Rolling Thunder”.
