Join the American

Legion Riders

Ride with purpose—support veterans, raise funds, and represent Post 328 on the road.

The American Legion Riders (ALR) are one of the fastest-growing and most visible programs within The American Legion. With more than 425 chapters nationwide and new groups forming each month, Riders support a wide range of causes — from veteran assistance to youth and community programs — all while sharing a love of riding and service.

what do the riders do?

American Legion Riders are dedicated to honoring veterans, supporting families, and strengthening communities. Their activities include:

  • Raising thousands of dollars each year for the American Legacy Scholarship Fund, which helps the children of fallen service members.

  • Participating in national events such as Rolling Thunder, the annual POW/MIA Rally held each Memorial Day weekend in Washington, D.C.

  • Organizing and joining local charity rides to support VA hospitals, veterans in need, children’s programs, and community relief efforts.

  • Founding and supporting the Patriot Guard Riders movement, which honors and protects the sanctity of military funerals and memorial services.

  • Forming motorcycle honor guards and ceremonial teams to represent the pride and unity of both veterans and riders.

  • Promoting motorcycle and driver safety education in partnership with organizations like ABATE and other national motorcycling groups.

The Riders are a dedicated family within the Legion — combining passion for motorcycling with service to others. When a Post sponsors a Riders chapter, it strengthens the entire Legion family and creates new opportunities for outreach, fellowship, and community impact.
