VietNam Vets M/C - Georgia A Chapter

Viet Nam Vets MC is an International Organization with members in Europe, Canada and the United States. We have members in all 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii. Viet Nam Vets MC is made up of two compatible groups of former US military men.

Those who served in the country of Vietnam and earned the Vietnam Service Medal.
Those who served honorably in the U.S. military during the Vietnam Era and earned the National Defense Service Medal.

Bonded by history, and united by principles we form a proud and unique Biker Brotherhood: the Viet Nam 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 to honor our sworn solemn oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic; and our inalienable rights & freedoms, which are the principles on which our country was founded. 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 veterans rights, and related issues;

As Activists, 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.

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 to Canada. Wanting only justification and reasons for the death, destruction and sacrifices that were made in South East Asia. Instead of the absolution we sought, we were lied to by our Government, demonized by the media and publicity-seeking politicians, the general public, our families, classmates, and even other veteran's groups. We went away as patriots, returned and were 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.

VNVMC is not a veteran's riding club such as those which may be found at the American Legion or VFW. Our Brothers share more than just common military experiences. We are a Brotherhood in the wind. We are a Motorcycle Club which shares a strict set of codes, ethics and values. W e'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 Code of Conduct and principles, along with the freedom of the wind and the road.

Becoming a member of The Viet Nam Vets MC and entering our unique Brotherhood is a process. It starts with a few basics:

Verification of Veterans status (DD 214 & 215)
Own a 650cc or larger Harley-Davidson or H-D type Motorcycle

These are only the initial requirements, to be considered by the Viet Nam Vets 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 may 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 earn 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. It is a period of discovery. 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. We have NO class system. Societal 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're looking for a few good Brothers, not a lot of miserable wannabes. We pledge to always be there for our Brothers, whatever it takes.
