:: "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 231st 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 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.
Any good cake requires the basic ingredients, some flour, eggs, and milk. What makes the Brotherhood of Marine Corps Riders a successful organization is the mixture of decades of heritage and "Esprit De Corps." The Navy and Marine Corps have been making history for over 230 years. Harley Davidson has been keeping Marines and Sailors on the road for over 100 years. Together we make a pretty good team. Our venture as a Not for Profit organization proves that there is always a battle to be fought, either at home or on foreign soil. Injured Marines need our help in battle and when they return. We strive to do three things really well, Ride American Motorcycles, Uphold the Corps Values of Honor Courage and Commitment, and help fellow mankind where needed. Anyone who rides will tell you of the freedom that comes with cruising the open road on an American Motorcycle. Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airman have fought to ensure that freedom. With the BMCR you can have your cake and eat it too.
