Default War Vet M/C

I've seen several motorcycle clubs for vets or the vietnam war, but was wondering if there was any interest in starting one for just the guys that have served in the desert and afgan?? Or if there is one in existence already(i've searched but haven't found one specifically for that war yet)

There is also the Legacy Vets MC which is under the VNVMC. Legacy is for Vets that served after Nam but is not limited to the current wars.

Question

Saw a column of "Proud Veterans MC" this past weekend. Top rocker was "Proud", bottom rocker was "Veterans". M/C was left and right of center. Never seen them before. Black N Yellow. 3 piece patch. I believe there were at least 6 to 8 of them, odd thing was they all appeared not to have been center punched yet as they all had "Probate" as their center patch. That is what made me think it might be a newly forming MC.

I was approached by someone who stated they were starting a Marine Corps MC the other day. They wanted to know if I was interested. I'm just not sure about a random bunch of guys throwing on a 3 piece patch even if they are all former military.

IronAss mentioned these guys, they've got a decent presence in San Diego. Cruising a local event board and found this, includes contact info.
I know they have a web site too, google should do it.

"Legacy Vets" seems to carry the idea that your kind of a second class brother....at least sounds that way.

I agree. I would consider joining a club for all combat veterans or one just for OIF/OEF (done both multiple times). No desire to join a Vietnam "legacy" club. We have fought our own wars and have our own acomplishments to be proud of.
