The American Legion Riders (ALR) programs are organized by Chapters in virtually every state in the nation. Currently there are over 800 ALR Chapters in the US and several foreign countries.
The ALR members are members of the Legion family. That family includes Sons of The American Legion, Auxiliary, and The American Legion. The purpose of the ALR is to further the goals of The American Legion. We do this by participating in events such as The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund which is scholarships for the children of those men and women in uniform who have lost their life since 9/11.
Some other events which we either sponsor or participate in are; Rolling Thunder, fundraiser’s for VA hospitals, Salvation Army bell ringing,Wreaths Across America, youth programs and many community charities.
We devote a lot of time and energy to showing our appreciation for the sacrifices made by our military families. We participate in parades and other ceremonies that are in keeping with the aims and purposes of The American Legion. We promote motorcycle safety programs and provide a social atmosphere for American Legion members who share the same interests.
There are only two requirements for membership. 1) Be a member of the Legion family, and 2) own a motorcycle, 350 cc or bigger. We are not a motorcycle club.
Please contact any American Legion Post for information on membership in your nearest American Legion Riders Chapter.
The Omaha Chapter of the ALR is sponsored by Omaha Post One, 7811 Davenport Street Omaha, NE 68114
