AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS CHAPTER 69

With over 100,000 American Legion Riders in more than 2,000 chapters across every domestic department and at least three foreign countries, the community is united in service and camaraderie.

The American Legion Riders chapters are well known for their charitable work which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children’s hospitals, schools, veteran’s homes, severely wounded servicemembers and scholarships. Since 2006 the Riders nationwide have participated in The American Legion Legacy Run to annually raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund established to provide scholarships to children of United States military personnel killed since September 11, 2001.

The Riders in Iowa have formed an honor guard called “The Five Star Freedom Riders” and the Riders in Mulvane, Kansas founded the “Patrol Guard” to protect the sanctity of military funerals from protesters. Riders in all states have escorted military units returning home from combat tour overseas, conducted massive cross country fundraising events for wounded warriors from all services and have raised millions of dollars for countless local, state and national charities. Many Riders supported by their departments conduct annual statewide Legacy Runs in direct support of American Legion scholarship programs of “Operation Comfort Warriors” (OCW), supporting our wounded service members across the nation.
