I have talked with and met a NAM VET MC NOMAD Brother Twin here in Wichita Falls, Texas and talked to Skinner in MO. He asked me to introduce myself here. I was raised in Butner, N.C. joined the Navy in 1968, stationed in NAS OCEANA at Virginia Beach for 2 years. Went in-country Vietnam in March 1971-72. I was stationed in Bihn Thuy with the FASU and was a firefighter and on the Crash Crew Team next to Cambodia off the Delta. Came back to N.C. bought my first Motorcycle a 450 Honda. I accepted Jesus as my Lord in January 1974, went to Bible College and became a Pastor for 20 years and in March 2007 I had a 1980 Chevy fall off a floor jack onto me, broke 7 ribs and messed up my PTSD. I retired from Ministry in 2008 and am a 100 percent Disabled Vietnam Veteran. I wrote a Book on my life called "My Story for His Glory", that tells my life Story, if you want more information than I give here. I road with the Combat Veterans Association for awhile, I road with Biker's for Christ and was a Chapter Elder in Colorado Springs before moving to Texas. I stepped out of BFCMM. I met Twin here in Wichita Falls, Texas and we talked about me joining NAM VETS MC NOMAD and I have sent in all the information required and the check. If you accept me I will be honored to be part of the Brotherh. I Respect all people rather they believe like me or not, I do not condemn those the chooses to live different than me, I have no problem with those that drink beer, alcohol etc. I will set at the bar or table with you and drink my Diet Dr. Pepper, if you get drunk I'll help carry you home lol, I been there and done that. I hope you will allow me to be part of the NAM VET MC Brotherhood. Thank you. Robbie Black

WELCOME HOME sounds like the start of a PROSPECT.Good luck I hope TWIN can help you with any questions you have
Howdy, Boss Skinner, Regional Bosses, Brothers, prospects & support people,
Way-ta-go Grumpy, congratulations to Zoot and welcome to any new prospects. I had a guy who is interested in becoming a brother but I'm not sure if he sent his paper work & dues in, let me know boss if you heard anything if not then I'll give him a call.
well the year is winding down fast, and I really enjoy this time of the year, warm days cool night, leaves turning different colors, such a beautiful site and still out riding, might be riding until November, who knows
Been getting an indoor project done that I started a couple years back, it's time to stop sitting and start getting..
My grandson will be 5 months the month and weights a ton, he's about 20lbs now and growing like a weed, I love the heck out of this little guy.
Really not much going on in my AO, went to see a Motley Crue tribute band this past friday night, well worth the hour long ride to and fro to see them.
well just wanted to let all know D9 and I are alive and doing fine..
Until my next entry, peace and love to all

no mail from anyone just talked to LAAM.
Patchholders, Supports, and well wishers.
It was time for me to retire. I will ride on some runs.
Nationals are a given. Zoot will be a good replacement for me.

GRUMPY you served the CLUB well and we all will miss your words of wisdom and riding with you,THANK YOU BROTHER.
Brothers, support, those look'n:
Damn Gearbox, you mean I'm not the only one who has noticed how fast time seems to be movin' ? It's get'n so I'm nervous about closing my eyes at night for fear of waking up in the morning and missing a year. What's up with that ?????
Am look'n forward to the upgrades to our Web Site Boss. Since the beginning, it has amazed me how much interest the NAMVETSMC.COM has generated. I know there are at least 3 applications out as I type. It's a good feeling knowing that Nam Vets are still out there, still riding, and wanting the connection we all shared so many decades ago. Our Brotherhood is something special !!!
For me up here, have seen the word "snow" in the local forecast. Got mixed emotions over it. On one hand it's "UGH" here comes winter, on the other hand it's "here comes 2021", and that can't happen soon enough for me.
On another upside, got my Ballot in the mail yesterday, feel'n kinda' powerful this morning. I will take care of that "business" in a quick hurry. I will turn my Ballot in to the local Sherriff's Dept. , and then sit back and watch ..... (one more hurdle for 2020)
As always: Love-Loyalty- Respect ....

sounds good
GREETINGS to all Brothers, Supports, future Prospects, lookie-lous and well wishers.
Well d**n; we're in California. If we didn't need to be certainly we could not be. Their Governor, legislature, and health director have pretty much shut the State down. I almost feel sorry for the poor b******s who can't afford to leave here. Almost, but not quite because if they moved, they'd probably bring the same problems with them they voted for that got Cali in this mess.
Okay, off the Cali sucks rant.
Singer and I are doing great. She's feeling almost 100% now, I'm still lagging a bit around 95%.
Even since we caged it out here, it was a great trip. We drove through Painted Desert & Petrified Forest National Parks. Singer had never seen them. Stayed in our favourite Route 66 motel in Winslow. Stayed in the Eagles themed room this time. Harley room was taken.
Wanted to let everyone know we're still alive and kicking. TCB.
We both appreciate your continued positive thought, vibes, &/or prayers as we're taking care of our Cali business.
ML&R, LLRBF

great idea
Greetings and Salutations to all Brothers, Prospects, Support, and those checking to see what we're about and our mission in this world.
When Life starts piling on all the chaos I check out the Gallery and the smiles and giggles come out. Good Medicine.
These times are sort of like being confined to barracks awaiting new orders- hurry up and wait. Lol!
We ride when possible, represent our Club and Brotherhood, and look to that distant horizon with all those good times to come.
I always feel honored to be counted among you all in this great adventure our MC and Life provides.
I hope all are well, making some stories to tell, and if needed- raising a little hell!
Love, Loyalty, Respect, Brotherhood, Forever.

THANKS FOR POSTING,WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH GREAT BROTHERS
Greetings and Salutations to all patched members, Supports and Well-Wishers. My AO is looking good, COLD but Good. I'd like to wish Doc Gonzo safe travels. I tried to correspond on Facebook, But apparently I've been put back in Facebook jail for 30 days. I really do HATE, that Social Media Site. It is sad that people, are so easily offended. Enough Ranting. Here's hoping that everyone is doing well, 200 more miles and Baby Girl will be going in for her thousand mile service. I sure do love riding that machine. It's so much easier on the old bones. Can't Hardly Wait for Nationals and a chance to meet everyone. Keep it safe, Keep it upright and Keep out of trouble. This is Thumper saying LLRBF- NVFFNV

Great morning Boss skinner, patched brother, & support
Hoping this message finds all in great health and spirits.
Had a trip planned for northern Pennsylvania but got canceled due to up coming rain and colder than normal temps.
Cleaned Lame-Andy the other day and now he's shinning like a new penny, I so like this bike much more than the yellow and black one, it runs 10 times better.
Not much to report in my A.O, D9 and I are doing good, staying healthy and living the dream, lol.
Glad to hear boss, that you had you port removed and you're on the mend, also happy to hear that Doc-gonzo is up and running at 90%, life is good
well, until my next post, stay healthy and ride safe.

Great Morning Boss Skinner, patched brothers & support
well lets just jump right into winter, I hate the cold weather, but I do love the 4 seasons here in Pennsylvania, there is no scenery anywhere as beautiful as this time of the year here. Fr Had a trip planned with friends but was canceled, to head up to northern Pa to see the leave changing and to see the Elk.

A huge hello to all Patch holders and support folks. I hope all have had as good a summer as was possible considering all the BS! It has been a really weird last few months for sure. I threw my leg over the Road King and headed east to southern Idaho and Montana in early August. Took all the back roads I could find and wandered around until the end of August. I really did need the mind clearing ride. I was told last spring that I needed cataract surgery so I decided September would be a good time for it. My second eye was done earlier this week. What a pleasant surprise to see clearly again! Take care Brothers! Like Brother Dutch, I am counting down the days until we are all together at NR2021.

Hello Brothers, Support & Prospects! All is well in Indiana except my right hip, thigh & leg are hurting. I keep getting acupuncture & deep tissue massage then everything feels good but then it comes back again. Eventually it will get better. I’m looking at a Cage trip in about a month to Working Dogs For Vets in TN with Bessie & another trainer with a 6-month old German Shepherd that needs all the training he can get. The trip I made with Grumpy over to Boss Skinner’s was enjoyable. Ellen fixed a nice breakfast. She is a great cook, anyone wo didn’t go to Red River, NM last year missed a lot of good meals that Ellen & some of the other wives fixed. Another riding season is almost over, I have been riding to the gym 3 days a week + any other rides I can get in. I hope the election, the new Justice is appointed & the Corona is over and then we can get back to living.
Peace Brothers......looking forward to the National Run next year.

Greetings to all my Brothers, Support and well-wishers. Baby Girl and I have been cruising our AO. 200 miles on the odometer. Taking it kind of easy till we hit that 1000 Mile mark. I never had a three-wheeler before, I'm kind of liking it. Can't wait to have our next get together. Glad to hear that everyone is doing well. All my love to you guys and gals, till we meet again, keep it upright and between the ditches. LLRBF-NVFFNV

Proud to be a member of such a great BrotherHood. GearBox LLRBF NVFFNV !!
Good Day Brothers and Support members hope all are doing well. First Day of Fall here but had a frost the last day of summer and today to. Winter is coming early this year. Time to break out cold weather riding gear. Won't put the bike up till ice on the road. Mainer and I road up to Littleton, NH and had lunch with Wrongway was a great time. All that are up north stay warm those down south stay cool. May all this virus stuff go away soon. Nationals can't come soon enough.
