The Vietnam Vets MC – Who We Are

Vietnam Vets MC is an International Organization with membership in Europe, Canada and the United States.  We have members in all 50 states.  Vietnam Vets MC is made up of two compatible groups of former US military men.

Those who served in the country of Vietnam and earned the Vietnam Service Ribbon;

Those who served honorably in the US military during the Vietnam ERA and earned the National Defense Ribbon.

Bonded by history, and united by principles to form a proud and unique Biker Brotherhood, the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle club.

Vietnam Vets MC contributes our energy, time and resources to an effort that will build a better future for all veterans and their families.  Our first and primary mandate is to do everything in our powers to bring our POW/MIA Brothers home and to insist that our government demands accountability for each and every one of the those patriots.

The Vietnam Vets MC continues to honor our sworn solemn oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; and our inalienable rights and freedoms, which are the principles to which our nation was founded.

At the same time we are reaching out to our Vietnam Veterans with assistance, by understanding their rights and benefits and help them wrestle with the bureaucratic system that has organized to deny them.

The Vietnam Vets MC is an advocacy and activist organization for veterans rights and related issues;

As activists we organize awareness events within our communities, which help to illuminate the plight of our often forgotten veterans.

Our Brothers share more than just common military experiences.  We also share a strict set of codes, ethics and values.  We’re not a criminal organization nor do we have any intention on becoming one.  However, we feel strongly about Government infringements upon any citizen’s personal liberties and civil rights.

We have not, nor do we intend to get involved with the private business of other motorcycle clubs or their problems.  We have respect for all motorcycle clubs who share our common codes and principles, along with the freedom of the wind and the road.

“We are a brotherhood in the wind.”

We returned from an unpopular war, scarred mentally and physically to a besieged nation.  We served honorably when called upon, and during a time when it was socially acceptable for our peers to burn their draft cards or flee to Canada, wanting only justification and reasons for the death, destruction and sacrifices that were made in South East Asia.  Instead, of the absolution we sought, we were lied to by our government, demonized by the media and ostracized by our families, classmates, veterans groups and the public.

:We went away as patriots, returned and were treated like outlaws.”

Most Vietnam Veterans decided to blend back into society, by attempting to hide the Vietnam service.  Others refused to hide, and many of them became bikers and remained FREE MEN.

Becoming a member of the Vietnam Vets MC and our unique Brotherhood takes a process.  It starts with a few basics:

Verification of Veteran status (DD214 or 215)

Own an 883 CC or larger Harley Davidson motorcycle.

These are only initial requirements, to be considered by the Vietnam Vets MC.  A select group of Men that meet these standards will be invited to “Hang Around” and participate as a guest in club events and runs.  After a reasonable amount of time and if they share our common interests, they’ll progress to the prospective stage.

The purpose of prospecting is to enable the Brothers and the prospective member to get to know each other.  It ensures that they’ll be shown what is required to wear the patch and be called brother.  It also gives the Vietnam Vets MC Brothers a chance to see if the prospective member will represent our Brotherhood and Club with both honor and respect.  As in every relationship, there is a time of discovery.  We’re no different to become a Brother it takes time and effort and we only want the most dedicated men.

The Vietnam Legacy Vets MC is a unique body of men, we al give 110% to our club and our brothers.  We have no Class system, Social distinc6tions, which are based on education, vocation, or financial status, have no reverence in our Brotherhood.

We weed out “Prima-Donnas”, egos and assholes.  We undertaken a very large task, and we’re looking for a few good Brothers, not a lot of miserable wannabes. We pledge to always be there for our Brothers in need, regardless if they’re one of us.  If you’re interested contact the webmaster, or give your name and phone and city where you live to any Vietnam Vet Mc or Legacy Vet MC member and we’ll see to it that a Brother from you area contacts you.
