Thank you for
visiting the Warrior
Brotherhood Veterans
Motorcycle Club Web
Page. We are proud to share our point
of view with you.
The Warrior Brotherhood
Veterans Motorcycle
Club
is a not-for-profit
fraternal organization.
It was formed to provide
a fraternal organization
for qualified military
veterans who have served, or are currently serving,
in the Armed Forces of the United States
or US Allied Nations.
The membership
of the organization
is comprised entirely
of active duty, reserve, and national guard veterans who have
served HONORABLY in a theater of operations. The
organization is established
to provide a strong
sense of pride and mutual
support for Veterans
who have served their
country. The organization
will also promote a
positive image of military
Veterans as well as
motorcyclists.
WE ARE PROUD TO BE A
BROTHERHOOD OF WARRIORS
There are universal
truths that inspire
men. These truths are
written in the histories
of all great nations,
and address directly
the influence of the "Warrior
Class” on the traditions
shaping the character
of a nation. Our nation's
greatness was created
out of the traditions
of brave men who served
the cause of freedom.
They formed the foundation
for our constitution, the meaning, and
might behind our nation's
laws. The Warrior Brotherhood Veterans MC
is part of that tradition.
We have each served
out country and risked our lives
in its defense, and
in the tradition of
warriors around the
world; we adhere to
a different code, different
customs, and different
protocols. The love
we bear for our nation
is forever strong.

ABOUT THE WARRIOR BROTHERHOOD
VETERANS MOTORCYCLE CLUB
We are about pride and
unity among our nations
military Veterans. It
is our mission, as a Veterans organization,
to focus attention
locally, nationally, and internationally
on the positive contributions
made by military Veterans.
We believe our duty
and our opportunity to
support our fellow Veterans
did not end with military
service. So through our
actions, our community
involvement, and our dedication
to this cause, we hope
to perpetuate the feeling
of pride and belonging
among our warrior brothers.
As Veterans and as bikers,
we are not alone in this
endeavor. We recognize
that no single organization
can provide for the needs
of all Veterans. We are
but one of many, and in
the spirit of Warrior
Brotherhood we support
all organizations, clubs,
and veterans-rights groups
whose sole mission is
to perpetuate pride, brotherhood,
and respect for and among
our nations Veterans.
As proud members of the
Warrior Brotherhood Veterans
Motorcycle Club, we are
bound by our honor, the
warrior code, and the
laws of this great nation,
to promote a positive
image for all Veterans.
We welcome the membership
of any veteran who has
served their country honorably,
and who believes in the
Warrior Code.
We do not lead.
We do not follow.
We are brothers.
We ride for all Veterans.

We wear the image of
our campaign ribbons as
the centerpiece of our
colors.
Korea, Vietnam, Granada,
Bosnia, Desert Storm,
Iraq War, Afghanistan,
and the National Defense
medal to name a few. Each ribbon is
different, but each one
represents the Warrior
Brotherhood. We earned
those ribbons by serving
our nation proudly and
honorably, and will not surrender those colors
to anyone.
As a Tax Exempt Veterans Organization,
we seek no territory,
we have no hidden agendas.
We believe in every Veterans
right to ride in peace. We will defend that right without fail. |
 BROTHERHOOD
I don't believe that you can explain
in words, what brotherhood means
to the veteran biker... If you
feel it, you will know. It doesn't
come when you buy a motorcycle,
it's not part of the warranty
nor the leathers you wear. It
does not come when your break-in
mileage comes around, or when
you attend your first motorcycle
function. It does come with Respect,
Honor, and Devotion to those who
would stand by your side in good
times & bad. It comes when
your brothers accept that you
are deserving of respect, trust,
and faithful to the those who
have risked their life in defense
of their country. If it never
comes, the Brotherhood is not
for you.... If it does, be proud.
THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR
This unwritten Code of
the Warrior contends that
the true warrior must
hold loyalty, courage,
veracity, compassion,
and honor as important,
above all else. An appreciation
and respect for life is
also imperative, as it
adds balance to the warrior
character in each of us.
Warriors who have experienced
the bitter taste of combat
may appear aloof. They
seek an inner truth. Something
to explain being fierce
and deadly in combat and
yet so gentle and compassionate
with children and loved
ones. It is the ultimate
human paradox that exists
in every warrior. The
truth of this inner conflict
is so profound, it is
understood only by another
warrior.
HONOR & COURAGE
"If you are able, save
for them a place inside
of you and save one backward
glance when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them, though
you may not have always.
Take what they have thought
you with their dying and
keep it with your own.
And in the time when men
decide and feel safe to
call the war insane, take
one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes you
left behind."
"Through these fields
of destruction
Baptism of fire
I witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though it did hurt
me
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms"

THE VETERAN
Some veterans bear visible
signs of their service:
a missing limb, a jagged
scar, a certain look in
the eye. Others may carry
the evidence inside them:
a pin holding a bone together,
a piece of shrapnel in
the leg - or perhaps another
sort of inner steel: the
soul's ally forged in
the refinery of adversity.
Except in parades, however,
the men and women who
have kept America safe
wear no badge or emblem.
You can't tell a vet just
by looking.
What Is A Vet?
He is the cop on the beat
who spent six months in
Saudi Arabia sweating
two gallons a day making
sure the armored personnel
carriers didn't run out
of fuel. He is the barroom
loudmouth, dumber than
five wooden planks, whose
overgrown frat-boy behavior
is outweighed a hundred
times in the cosmic scales
by four hours of exquisite
bravery in combat.
She is the nurse who fought
against futility and went
to sleep sobbing every
night for two solid years
in Da Nang.
He is the POW who went
away one person and came
back another - or didn't
come back AT ALL.
He is the Quantico drill
instructor who has never
seen combat - but has
saved countless lives
by turning slouchy, no-account
rednecks and gang members
into Marines, and teaching
them to watch each other's
backs.
He is the parade-riding
Legionnaire who pins on
his ribbons and medals
with a prosthetic hand.
He is the career quartermaster
who watches the ribbons
and medals pass him by.
He is the three anonymous
heroes in The Tomb Of
The Unknowns, whose presence
at the Arlington National
Cemetery must forever
preserve the memory of
all the anonymous heroes
whose valor dies unrecognized
with them on the battlefield
or in the ocean's sunless
deep.
He is the old guy bagging
groceries at the supermarket,
palsied now and aggravatingly
slow, who helped liberate
a Nazi death camp and
who wishes all day long
that his wife were still
alive to hold him when
the nightmares come.
He is an ordinary and
yet an extraordinary human
being. A person who offered
some of his life's most
vital years in the service
of his country, and who
sacrificed his ambitions
so others would not have
to sacrifice theirs.
He is a soldier and a
savior and a sword against
the darkness, and he is
nothing more than the
finest, greatest testimony
on behalf of the finest,
greatest nation ever known.
So remember, each time
you see someone who has
served our country, just
lean over and say Thank
You. That's all most people
need, and in most cases
it will mean more than
any medals they could
have been awarded or were
awarded.
Two little words that
mean a lot,
"THANK YOU."
