Vietnam Vets MC is an International Organization with members in Europe,
Canada and the United States. We have members in all 50 states including
Alaska and Hawaii.
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 within our powers to bring
our POW/MIA Brothers home and to insist that our Government demands
accountability for each and every one of those patriots.
The Vietnam Vets MC continues honor our sworn solemn oath to defend and
protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign
and domestic; and our inalienable rights & freedoms, which are the
principles
on which our country was founded.
At the same time we're reaching out to 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 veteran's
rights, and related issues:
· As Activist, we organize awareness events within our communities, which
help to illuminate the plight of often forgotten Veterans.
· As Advocates, we attempt influence and educate our communities and the
media to the unique problems of Vietnam 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 of 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 respect all Motorcycle clubs
who share our common codes and principles, along with the freedom of the wind
and the road.
"We are the 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, veteran's groups and the public.
"We went away as patriots,
returned treated like Outlaws"
Most Vietnam Veterans decided to blend back into society, by attempting to
hide their 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 which a few basics.
· Verification of Veterans status (DD 214 & 215)
· Own a Harley Davidson (required in California)
These are only the 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 runs and events. After a reasonable
time and if they share our common interests, they'll progress to the
prospecting 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 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 Vets MC is a unique body of men; we all give 110% to our Club and
to our Brothers, as we have NO class system. Society's distinctions, which are
based on education, vocation or financial status, have NO relevance to our
Brotherhood.
We weed out the “Prima-Donnas”, egos and assholes. We've undertaken a very
large task; and we're looking for a few good brothers, not a lot miserable
wannabes.
We pledge to always be there for our Brothers in need; regardless if they're
one of us, The Vietnam Vets MC & The Legacy Vets MC or among one our
associate Clubs.
