American Legion Riders
Arriving at the NYS Veterans' Home at Oxford in October of 2018
The American Legion Riders are well known to participate in local events in support of The American Legion and local communities. They will ride to honor fallen military men and women, and to protect the sanctity of their funerals from those who would dishonor their memory, as well as escorting military units to departure airfields and airports for combat tours overseas, and welcoming them home upon their return.
They will often sponsor or participate in motorcycle runs to benefit numerous charities including raising money for VA hospitals, women and children centers, children and youth centers, schools and other facilities.
