Veterans Help Needy with the Turkey Run

American Legion Post 80 in Grants, New Mexico does a Turkey Run to raise money to feed needy families at Thanksgiving.   On November 7, the Legion Riders gathered for the fund raiser.   The group does many fund raisers throughout the year.  

Their mission is 1) "To be instrumental in initiating charity, ie, funds and/or goods for individuals and organizations requiring public support or assistance." 2) "To provide a venue of camaraderie and brotherhood among veterans and their families who enjoy motorcycling and helping those in need."

On November 11, they did a free dinner in honor of Veterans Day and will deliver dinners to needy families on Thanksgiving.

It's really neat to see. I hope to find more and more of these stories so I can show our nation that our vets are amazing people. Hidden treasures that need not be so hidden.

I really liked this video. It shows how bikers can do good for the community. Bikers get such a bad reputation because of their loud motorcycles and rough appearance, but I know of many examples just like this video, where bikers are doing a really good thing.

I like this video because the Legion Riders are helping the needy.
