Greetings Riders!

It’s time to check back in with you and let you know what’s up with the Director. I hope everyone had a good Memorial Weekend. It was great to see so much activity from the Riders on social media and how each of you honored our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice. As long as we continue to remember and honor them, their memory and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

June will be a busy month for all of us. As for me, I am starting off by riding up to Chapter 119, Placerville’s Poker Run, being held on June 4, 2022. I hope to get to meet some of our newest members from Chapter 95 Oroville! Starting on June 10, 2022, we will be kicking off the California Legacy Run in Fort Bragg and Bakersfield. I will be riding up to Fort Bragg to help out with registration and the kick off on Thursday, June 9. June 24-26, 2022, the American Legion, Department of California, Sons of American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary will be having their conventions in Visalia, Ca. I will be making the (not so) long trip from my home to represent the Riders at each of the conventions.

That’s all for now brothers and sisters! I am looking forward to getting on the road and seeing you! See you on the road!

Good afternoon comrades,

It’s been awhile. I am writing to call us to support each other in these challenging times.

Weather, politics, isolation; all these are fuel for an undercurrent of discord. I also follow all the good that the riders are doing with rallies and events in all the areas. I appreciate all the outreach that is done in our communities.

Brothers and sisters, we are members of an historic organization with a great record of service. I am proud to know so many of you and hope to meet many more in the coming months. I look forward to seeing the area posts of events and the messages from our many riders. It is uplifting to witness the implementation of Comrade Molina’s 2gether call.

Reach out to other areas and riders, establish (or reestablish) contact with riders you might have fallen out of contact with. It is prime riding weather. Contact other chapter members as you ride around our state. Let them point out sights and rides you might otherwise miss.

Thank you for all you are doing to raise awareness of our organization and our mission.

For God and country,

Fred Branson
