The purpose of the VFW Riders is to promote the aims, objectives, and purposes of the Veterans of Foreign Wars as a family-oriented motorcycling activity for members of the VFW and VFW Auxiliary. For God and Country, we associate ourselves together for “fraternal, patriotic, historical and educational purposes” aligned with those of the VFW. We strive to preserve and strengthen comradeship among our members, to assist our comrades, to perpetuate the memory and history of our fallen, to maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, fidelity to its Constitution and laws, foster patriotism, and to maintain and extend the institution of American freedom.
