Who
We Are
Viet
Nam Vets MC is an Organization with members throughout the
United States & Europe. Viet Nam 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.
Viet Nam
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 Viet
Nam Vets MC continues to 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 Viet Nam 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 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,
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 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:
· Verification of Veterans status
(DD 214 & 215)
· Own a 650cc or larger Motorcycle
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 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.
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
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 M/C or Legacy Vets MC member and we’ll
see to it that a Brother from your area contacts you.
