Riders Wanted !
As we near the time when we can once again get the motorcycles
out on the road, it is time to return to organizing a chapter of The American Legion
Riders in northeastern SD. The Riders
are members of The Legion Family (The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary,
and Sons of the American Legion) who are motorcycle enthusiasts and who wish to
promote the values of The American Legion while also enjoying our bikes. The Riders chapter will be based out of
Aberdeen, SD, but is open to any member of the Legion Family who wishes to
join, regardless of the post, unit, or detachment you belong to.
For more information, or to join our organizational meeting, please
contact the post.
