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
