US Flag on Motorcycles
When the US flag is flown alone, it needs be at the center on the back
of the motorcycle, or to its "marching right." The "marching right" is
on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective when
facing forward. If the US Flag is on your bike with another, it should
be to its "marching right." All flags flown with the US Flag are the
same size and at the same height of the US Flag. While the US Flag is on
your bike with several other flags the US flag is placed at the center
and highest. Other flags should be arranged in alphabetical order and in
decreasing importance - Nations first, states (in order of admittance)
and territories second, military third (in order of establishment), and
then any others.

The American Legion Riders
Today over 425 American Legion Riders programs, organized by
chapters, districts, or departments, support Americanism and Children
and Youth programs in virtually every state in the nation, and more are
organizing each month. One of the fastest-growing and most highly
visible of the many programs offered by The American Legion, The
American Legion Riders are a very diverse group, and so are the programs
that they support. What do American Legion Riders do? The activities are
far too many to mention in this space, but here are a few examples:
American Legion Riders chapters and districts, nationally, have
become some of the most generous donors for the American Legacy
Scholarship Fund, raising as much as $5,000 or more in a single event.
Legion Riders participate in the annual POW/MIA Rally held each
Memorial weekend in Washington D.C. known as "Rolling Thunder".
Legion Riders sponsor or participate in local and national charity
events in support of the sponsoring American Legion Post.
Legion Riders ride to raise money for such organizations as local
VA Hospitals, Battered Women and Children's Center, Varied Children and
Youth programs, a School for Blind Children, Veterans Relief, Needy
families and many, many others.
Legion Riders founded a national movement called “Patriot Guard” (www.patriotguard.org)
that honors and protects the sanctity of military funerals and memorial
services.
Legion Riders have formed special motorcycle Honor Guards and
ceremonial teams highlighting the special bonds formed in military
service and the motorcycling community.
Legion Riders have also begun to teach motorcycle and driver
safety in the community and in schools in cooperation with ABATE and
other national motorcycling organizations.
Remember: American Legion Riders are a very dedicated group of
Legion Family members. When your Post or district sponsors a new Riders
organization, you create a win/win situation for your post, district,
and Department!
