:: "Everywhere we go, people want to know, who we are, where we come from..." ::
As the current Commandant of the Marine Corps recently commemorated the 233rd
Birthday of our beloved Corps, we are reminded of our obligation as highly trained
professionals that are here to defend the nation against a common foe, on a common
battle front. The Brotherhood of Marines Riders has taken that aspect a bit further and
gathered a group of Former, Retired and Active Duty Marines. All the riders not on
Active Duty must be Honorably Discharged and be able to show proof. The common
bond we have is that of being a Marine --
"Once a Marine, Always a Marine".
As Marines
As a Department of the Navy
"From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli"
The United States Marine Corps is, by Continental Congress Declaration, a
Department of the Navy. The U.S. Navy has been fighting and dying, side by side
with the Marine Corps since the birth the Corps. Therefore the Navy Corpsman that
serves with the Corps is also more than welcome to become a member of the
Brotherhood of Marine Corps Riders.
Brotherhood of Marine Riders, the Not-for-Profit Organization
Late 2005 saw the establishment of the BMCR as a Not for Profit Organization
dedicated to raising money for other charitable organizations by participating in fund
raising events throughout Southern California. See the links page for others
Motorcycle Clubs and organizations that seek the same goal of contributing to those
in need.
Our annual
Poker Run benefits the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund. The Semper Fi
Fund seeks to raise contributions that aid Marines Injured in conflicts throughout the
world that cannot be with their families in times of healing. Contributions to the fund
help unite injured Marines and their families by providing airline and transportation
needs all over the US. The Links page will direct you to their site.
