It is with great sadness We have had to cancel the Northwest regional Fall Run. Smoke and fire here in the Northwest is unbelievable , lived here 68 years and seen nothing like this. Many fires won't be out till the snow falls. We will overcome and shoot for the Spring Run and keep in touch with phone calls, e mail, FB and above all Nam Vet's web page. Might be another long winter again but Nam Vet Nomads will prevail.
RESPECT. Chaplain/NW Prez.

brother boss, thanks for the member i.d. it helped (helps) me to remember who is who. brother digger i was going to lay some good words on ya when i heard that you might have a malignant growth somewhere, now i see it was benign, absolutely awesome. i will never forget the day back in 2011 the oral surgeon at bay pines va in tampa said that i had a big growth in my jaw, it was cancer he said but it probably was not malignant. the feeling i got in my gut and head equaled any bad day in the Nam. it has been pretty good for me for 6 yrs, now - they keep checking every 6-12 months but i just told this little story because i think i know how you felt when they found the bump.
grumpy, i'm not sure i know who the guys are you spoke of in texas (i'm guessing) but i'm glad to hear they are good.
it is good to see you guys on here

Greetings to all Brothers, Supporters, the Curious, Furious, and simple Observers!
September is upon us, Fall is descending like the fading colored leaves from surrounding trees.
An epic Summer of roads, NR17, Brotherhood, strangers giving the thumbs up, gratitude, thank you's, and stories of family members who served.
We are still riding for those who can't- by choice, illness, or the final measure of names on the Wall.
We are that chapter in this country's history book- a page that we won't let them close. Riding and flying the patch that reminds young and old that we lived that time, some in-country, some back home with the protestors- as convenient targets for practice.
We are the raised middle finger to those who sided with the enemy, for votes or ideology. Those who greeted our Brothers coming home with filth and obscenities, and to the employers who refused to hire Vietnam Veterans who believed the lies that our Brothers were damaged goods.
We are the raised middle finger to the VA and other medical systems that refused to acknowledge the illness and internal damage as nothing, resulting in too many of our Brothers taking the final medication of suicide by their own hand, drugs, drinking, or a reckless life with no stops.
Finally, we ride for our MC Brothers here and gone, to honor a life well lived with the roar of our pipes and the smell of exhaust!
I am honored to be counted among you, I got your six, and will constantly strive to keep the right to wear the patch and have your valued Brotherhood.
I wish all testicles of brass, full tanks of gas, and smiles that will never pass!
LLRBF,

Had remembered the name NAM VETS and just located your site.
I am an over the road truck driver, and while on a long haul East bound through Nebraska last summer, I had a small group from the NAM VETS MC pass me, in formation, on Interstate 80. They must have been doing 90, was a sight to see..
I couldn't help myself and got on my horn, one of them waved, and they were gone.
That visual has stuck in my head, as my dad was a "Nam Vet" and loved his motorcycle. He passed 3 years ago, but seeing you guy's brought it all back.
Thanks for that, and just wanted to say Thank You for your service.
THANKS FOR THE RECOGNITION.I REMEMBER WHEN THE GUYS U R TALKING ABOUT CAME IN FOR OUR NATIONAL RUN THEY MENTIONED A TRUCK DRIVER SALUTING THEM AND BELIEVE ME IT MAKES OUR DAY TO HEAR FROM U.THESE BROTHERS WERE RIDING TO MISSOURI FROM MONTANA ,IDAHO AND WASHINGTON STATE.
THANKS AGAIN SKINNER NATIONAL PRESIDENT

As for brother Dutch's entry I would of never known about the run for that little failing girl Alaana had he not put the bug in my ear, those of us in the Nam Vet's are a true Brotherhood and work together to accomplish good things.
The Northwest Region's plans for the fall run has added another rider to the group, so things will be that much more enjoyable. A good time closing out the riding year as a Club will happen here in Northern Idaho., with riders from 3 Northwest states.
Blessing to you all

O.K.Brothers it is official.No cancer.It was a cyst.What a relief!My Dr. removed it.Took him all of 5 min.So to the best Brothers anyone could ask for.Peace and Respect.I love you all!
Thanks for the update Brother Grumpy. It's good to hear that Spokes is OK, am hopin' Redleg fared as well. Checked the weather forecast for Brother Twin and he looks golden ...... Crazy weather !
First thing I want to do is talk briefly about my day. 140 miles over the the Yaak and back, talked with a Vietnam Vet and gave him my Club card. This is what I live for, we are still out there, we just need to stop long enough to hook up. Was a good talk !
Now, what needs to be told :
A little girl has been given 72 hours to live over in Idaho, her one request was to see "motorcycles". Our Brother, a man of many hats, did not hesitate. Brother Herky, Nam Vets MC National Chaplain, NVMC Northwest Region President, jumped on his scooter and rode off to fulfill that little girls request. It's my understanding that 100 bikes showed up, our Patch was among them.
This I know, what goes around, comes around, and Brother Herky will be blessed. That little girl was given comfort from these Brothers banding together and granting her last wish. She wanted Motorcycles, she got Motorcycles. Our Club/Patch was elevated today.
Much Respect and Love Brother, because of you, our Patch has gained much Iron over in Idaho !!!!
This is who we are ...

brother skinner,
this web site is a good thing but with the recent hacking have you thought about keeping it public and having a closed private room for the club accessible by password?
with this guestbook strictly for non club members?
Brother Buda
that has been discussed no final decision made yet
