Club History

The US Military Vets Motorcycle Club "MC" was established in 1987, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The club is incorporated in the State of Florida as a non-for-profit organization. The Club as a national organization strives to achieve the following:

1. To provide a club for qualified Military Veterans, which offers brotherhood and an opportunity to establish a relationship with other Military Veterans who have served in defense of the United States of America.

2. To establish and support a strong sense of Pride in having served in the United States Armed Forces.

3. To improve the image of Military Veterans and Bikers to the general public.

Once you have met the minimum requirements the process of becoming a full patch member has three phases at this time;. "Hang-Around", Prospect, and Probate.

During the "Hang-Around" phase you make a couple or a few runs and meetings with the Club to see if the club suits you (or vice-versa). You will in fact be a social guest.

After the "Hang-Around" phase, if you and the club find that you are in fact compatible with each other, you will be voted in as a Prospect. As a Prospect you will do a certain number of meetings and runs with the club.

After the Prospect phase, if voted in you will become a Probate. As a Probate you will have the opportunity to learn the proper conduct of a member of a Motorcycle Club "MC".

You will be issued club rockers. You will conduct yourself in a manner that is beyond reproach and will be under the direct supervision of an F.T.O. and an experienced member such as your sponssor (while wearing your rockers).

Keep in mind that while there are minimum standards set, in some cases, it may take a long time to actually earn your patch.

This club invites honorably discharged veterans who have proudly served and love these Great United States of America and who love motorcycles.
