DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Greetings Legion Riders and Legion Family,
It is DEFINITELY summer... Hot... Humid... and parades just about every weekend! Please be on the lookout for motorcyclists, we are on the lookout for motorists. I apologize up front for the knucklehead motorcyclists who flaunt traffic laws (and good old common sense) by acting the fool on two wheels. The vast majority of us are NOT like that.
On to more pleasant stuff... Our gun raffle fundraiser is going exceedingly well. We have now sold nearly 90% of available tickets. As of this writing, near the end of July, we have less than 100 tickets (of 1,000) available. If you'd like a chance to win a great looking Henry Golden Boy "American Farmer" edition in .22 LR caliber, along with a fantastic hand-made display rack, please contact any Chapter 3 ALR member (or me). The drawing will be held at our August 23rd Poker Run.
Speaking of the August 23rd Poker Run, I hope that everyone will come out and support our chapter as we raise funds to support our Veterans. It doesn't matter if you are on two-, three-, or 4-wheels, we would love to see everyone participate! Registration is from 10am to Noon at Frontier Harley-Davidson on West O Street on August 23rd. It will be a great time!
Your American Legion Riders continue to support Veterans in the southeast Nebraska area by participating in flag lines with the Patriot Guard Riders at funerals of fallen heroes.
Until next time,
Ride (and Drive) Safe!

Post 3 American Legion Riders
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.
