DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Just a few things happening with the Riders this month. On May 14th we participated in a flag line for a veteran in Lincoln. Some of us escorted this veteran to the Omaha National Cemetery May 15th.
Memorial Day weekend was a bit busy for us. On the 25th, several members rode to Omaha to ride in the Patriotic Productions parade. Pictured below is a chip I received from the 1st Infantry Division Mounted Color Guard stationed at Ft Riley, Kansas. The group also participated in the parade on the 25th.
On the 27th, some of us participated in the cemetery trek hosted by the VFW. Later we attended the cemetery observance at Wyuka Cemetery. We finished the day by participating in the observance ceremony at Lincoln Memorial Park.
Just another reminder of our poker run September 22, registration begins at 10:00 am. The event starts and ends at Frontier Harley-Davidson dealership. We still have some tickets available for the rifle raffle to be held towards the end of the poker run. Neil Larson

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
We are NOT a motorcycle club!
We are a part of the nation’s largest wartime veteran’s service organization, members of the American Legion “Family” (Legionnaires, Sons and Auxiliary members) who have joined together to ride our motorcycles for fun and fellowship and to remember and dedicate our self to our original purpose. Service to Our Country.
Being a part of the American Legion, the Riders are committed to:
1. Mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs for them in our communities,
2. Advocating patriotism and honor,
3. Promoting strong national security, and
4. Continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
True to the Legion's grassroots tradition, each local Riders chapter manages its programs at the post level. Annually the Post 3 Riders are part of many projects and events.
