If you would like more information about our organization, or you would like to make a presentation to the membership, please let us know at: (321) 446-4650, or you can simply fill out the contact form from the "Contact" tab above.

Don't forget to click on the sub-menus as there is a lot of information available on different pages.

If you think you would like to join our organization, then you need to know that you do not need to ride a motorcycle to be a Member. Our membership is balanced between men and women, riders and non-riders, veterans and non-veterans. All that is required is a commitment to honor our veterans, past and present, and promote our cause of bringing home the 40,000+ still missing from previous wars and conflicts on foreign soil, defending our freedoms.

You've read or heard that the number of missing is in the 80,000 range, and that is true ... however, it is estimated that nearly 40,000 will never be returned because of burials and disasters at sea involving Navy, Marine, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Army POW's.

We do what we can to keep their sacrifices at the core of our mission. They should never be forgotten!

In November 2024, VA’s National Cemetery Administration (NCA) officially opened Green Burial sections at the Pikes Peak National Cemetery in Colorado Springs, Colorado; the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in Phoenix, Arizona, and Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. The number of green burial sites at each cemetery are 152, 155 and 222, respectively.

Green burials are a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact, which aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions, protection of worker health and the restoration and/or preservation of habitat.
