About the Riders

American Legion Riders chapters are well known for their charitable work, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children's hospitals, schools, veterans homes, severely wounded service members and scholarships. Since 2006, Riders nationwide have participated in The American Legion Legacy Run to annually raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund, established to provide scholarships to children of U.S. military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001.

Currently, over 110,000 American Legion Riders meet in over 2,000 chapters in every domestic department and in at least three foreign countries. Riders in Iowa have formed an honor guard called The Five Star Freedom Riders, and Riders in Mulvane, Kan., founded the Patriot Guard to protect the sanctity of military funerals from protesters. Riders in all states have escorted military units returning home from combat tours overseas, conducted massive cross-country fundraising events for wounded warriors from all services, and have raised millions of dollars for countless local, state and national charities. Many Riders, supported by their departments, conduct annual statewide Legacy Runs in direct support of American Legion scholarship programs of Operation Comfort Warriors (OCW), supporting our wounded service members across the nation. 

 The Riders are part of many projects and events, including:

• Rolling Thunder, Run for the Wall, the annual POW/MIA rally.
• Local charity events in support of The American Legion and local communities.
• Raising money for VA hospitals, women and children centers, children and youth centers, schools and other facilities.
• Sponsoring or participating in motorcycle runs to benefit numerous charities.
• Local memorial ceremonies and community parades.
• The American Legion Legacy Run, an annual cross-country fundraising ride from National Headquarters in Indianapolis to the national convention city.
• Riding to honor fallen military men and women, and to protect the sanctity of their funerals from those who would dishonor their memory.

Post 38 Riders

American Legion Riders Post 38 is one of the largest chapters in the Front Range area. We support our 4 pillars in all parts of our communities. Our riders take pride in being active members of the community.  One of our most requested services is our Honor Guard and Color Guard services. We volunteer a great deal of time towards Honoring our Fallen veteran brothers and sisters, parades, color guards, toy runs, rallys and fallen riders, rider communities and many other veteran communities. Post 38 Riders Lead from the front and embody the true mission of our ongoing service to our country.
