The American Legion Riders participated in two parades in August: In Wilber on the 4th, and in Milford on the 17th. Our poker run was held on September 22nd. 90 poker hands were sold, and all 1000 rifle raffle tickets were sold also. The proceeds are divided evenly between the Wheels 4 Warriors project and the American Legion Disaster Relief Fund. Nothing exciting happened in October. We are planning on participating in the Veterans Day Parade in Lincoln on November 10th.

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.
