More about the American Legion Riders to follow:
The American Legion Riders of Colorado are proud to lead the way into the future and assist with the rebuilding of The American Legion family membership. The program also promotes the camaraderie that all Veterans and their families have in their hearts. Additionally, our program brings back the ideals of having both the Auxiliary and the Son’s of The American Legion included in the family. What better way to serve the community and help promote the POW-MIA and other Veteran issues than as a family on motorcycles.
Feeling the freedom of the wind in your face. Being able to ride for causes that we believe in. Those are the things that our POW-MIA’s gave us in their sacrifice for God and Country. We will never let them be forgotten.
