"The Red is for the Blood We Shed
The Black is for the Mourning"
Viet Nam Vets MC is an International Organization
with members in Europe,
Viet Nam Vets MC is made up of two
compatible groups of former

Those who served honorably in the
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 honor our sworn
solemn oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the
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 the 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

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 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 minimum 650cc Motorcycle
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 miserable
wannabes.
We pledge to always be there for our Brothers in
need; regardless if they're
one of us, The Viet Nam Vets / Legacy Vets MC or
among one our
associate Clubs.
