“Who We Are”
The definition of "Legacy" is a gift or Honor handed
down through a family line. We the Legacy Vets
gladly accept a gift of responsibility from our Viet
Nam Vets Motorcycle Club Brothers. They've come
before us and are entrusting us to carry on their
visions, principles and traditions well into the
future. "A Brotherhood of Warriors! "We, the
Legacy Vets Brothers are active duty Military,
Veterans who've entered the American Military after
December 1975 sons or brothers of VNV or men who
share the same values as our VNV brothers. Our goals
are to contribute our time, efforts and resources to
the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club, by following their
examples and leadership in creating a better future
for all veterans and their families. At the same
time assuming an increasing level of
responsibilities of the expanding operations of our
Motorcycle Club. All Legacy Vets Brothers are
advocates and activist for veteran's rights and
related issues; Our primary mission is to do
whatever is necessary to bring our POW/MIA Brothers
home from ALL Wars and to insist on full
accountability from our elected officials. As
advocates, we participate in motorcycle & community
activities to draw public attention to the unique
problems of all Veterans, especially the Vietnam
Veterans. As activists, by organizing motorcycle
events within our communities, which help all
Veterans that are unable to help themselves. The
VietNam Vets MC and its Legacy Vets continue to
honor our solemn oath to Defend & Protect the
Constitution of the United States and the
inalienable principles on which it is formulated.
"We fought together - We'll ride together." The
Brothers of the VietNam Vets MC and the Legacy Vets
share more than common military experiences, we also
share a common set of social codes and values. We
are the returning Warriors from Beirut, Panama, El
Salvador, Grenada, Somalia, Desert Storm, Bosnia,
Kosovo, East Timor, Afghanistan and what ever
happened last week. We've been humiliated and
ostracized for our Patriotic service, then lied to,
denied medical and reorientation benefits from our
own Government. We were sent to fight in foreign
lands in defense our nation's founding principles of
Freedom and Democracy. We're proud of our service,
and if it makes us incompatible with others in
America today, they need to deal with it. We're not
a criminal organization nor do we intend to become
one. Nor do we have any intention of getting
involved with other motorcycle clubs business, or
their problems. However, we feel strongly about
Government infringements upon any citizen's personal
liberty and civil rights. Consider that the values
that we've fought for on foreign soil are more
important to us here in America. "We respect All
Motorcycle Brotherhoods who share the Freedom of the
wind and the road"

These are only the initial and bare minimum
requirements to be considered for membership for a
select group of men to be invited to participate as
a guest in VNVMC motorcycle runs and other
charitable events. Then they'll be ready to take
the next step of Prospecting. The purpose of the
"Prospecting" periods is to enable the Club to get
to know you and for you to get to know the Club.
This ensures you are totally aware of what you're
getting yourself into and that you're willing to
support the Brotherhood. It also gives the members
a chance to see if you'll represent our Brotherhood
and Club in a respectful manner. The Prospecting
process is a time of discovery, for the Brothers and
the Prospect. A fully informed and prepared
Prospect will become a valued Brother. Consider,
every Brother has prospected, to earn the HONOR to
wear the Club Patch. "Everyone will Prospect, we
make NO EXCEPTIONS" The Legacy Vets are proud to be
a part of a unique entity, we give 100%to the

Webmaster, or give your name, phone number and the
City where you live to any Vietnam Vets M/C or
