The American Legion Riders are members of The American Legion
who are also motorcycle enthusiasts. They can be found participating
in parades, partaking in motorcycle events and supporing the communities
in which they live, work, and play. Members of the ALR come from the Legion,
the Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of The American Legion. The American
Legion Riders were formed:
- to participate in parades and other ceremonies that are
in keeping with the Aims and Purposes of the American Legion
- to promote motorcycle safety programs, and to provide a social
atmosphere for American Legion members who share the same interests.
- to use our Association to promote and support programs of The American Legion.
The activities of The Legion Riders are limited only by the imagination
of the members of the local Riders organizations; and many local Chapters have
independently raised thousands of dollars for local children's hospitals,
veterans homes and scholarship programs. In 2006, Riders united nationally
for the First Annual American Legion Legacy Run and raised more than
$180,000 for The American Legacy Scholarshio Fund for the children of those
who have given their lives on active duty, defending our freedoms in the
War on Terror.
The American Legion Riders is not a motorcycle club, and does
not practice motorcycle club rules or regulations. The American Legion Riders
is family-oriented, just as is its parent organization; The American Legion
