Band of Brothers History 

The Band of Brothers USMC Riding Club was established on 10 November 2002 at the Iwo Jima Memorial Wreath Laying Ceremony.  We are made up of Retired, Former and Active Duty Marines and Corpsman who forever will be bonded by the Corps and our love of Motorcycles. 

The Band of Brothers Motorcycle Riding Club is an organization dedicated to supporting veterans, Marine Corps-related functions, charitable organizations and to keeping the POW/MIA awareness alive.  The purpose of the club is to foster a brotherhood dedicated to veterans and the sport of motorcycle riding.  We are a family-oriented club. Our members act in good faith with other members and they uphold the traditions of the United States Marine Corps.  Within the Band of Brothers, there is no distinction of military rank.

Club meetings are held on the third Saturday of every month (unless otherwise posted) at the Marine Corps League, Mickey Finns Detachment located near the Main Gate of MCB Quantico, VA.
