Viet Nam Vets MC
We are an International Organization with members in Canada, Europe, the Far East and the United States. We have members in 48 of 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii.
Viet Nam Vets MC is made up of two compatible groups of former US military men:
These Brothers are bonded by history and united by principles to form a proud and unique Biker Brotherhood:
The Viet Nam Vets Motorcycle Club.
Viet Nam Vets MC contributes energy, time and resources in an effort to build a better future for all veterans and their families.
The Viet Nam Vets MC continues to honor our sworn solemn oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States of America 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 to help them wrestle with the bureaucratic system that has organized to deny them.
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 citizens 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 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, 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 their Vietnam Service. Others refused to hide, and many of them became Bikers and remained FREE MEN.
Becoming a member of The Viet Nam Vets MC and our unique Brotherhood takes a process.
It starts which a few basics:
These are only the initial requirements, to be considered by the Viet Nam 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 Viet Nam 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 Viet Nam 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. Societies 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 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, phone number and the City where you live to any Viet Nam Vets MC or Legacy Vets member and we’ll see to it that a Brother from your area contacts you.
