Brotherhood
Military service creates bonds that last well beyond active duty. Our chapter is built on loyalty, respect, and standing beside one another both on and off the road.
About the Chapter
Brotherhood, service, and respect for those who served.
About Us
The U.S. Military Vets Motorcycle Club (USMVMC) is comprised of Honorably Discharged Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces. Our members come together under a common bond of brotherhood, service, and respect for our country and fellow veterans.
We are committed to supporting veteran causes, participating in community events, and promoting camaraderie among those who have served. Our chapter proudly represents the Treasure Coast area of Florida.
Recognizing that an entire club can be stigmatized by the inappropriate acts of a single person, all new prospective members go through phases such as Hang Around, Prospect, and Probate. During these phases the individual will learn MC protocol, the expectations of the Club and the MC community. He must demonstrate loyalty and commitment to the Club before being considered a member of the USMVMC Brotherhood.
The USMVMC is a true three piece patch Motorcycle Club. As an MC, we are both recognized and respected by other MC's locally and nationally.
S
Service
We support veterans, participate in community events, and carry forward the values of duty, honor, and commitment through our chapter activities and outreach.
H
Honor
We honor the memory of fallen brothers, respect the traditions of military service, and represent our club and our chapter with pride and dignity.
What the chapter stands for
The mission of the U.S. Military Vets Motorcycle Club is to promote camaraderie among veterans, preserve the traditions of military service, and support veteran-related causes within the communities we serve.
- Support veterans and veteran-focused causes
- Promote patriotism and respect for the United States
- Honor those who served and those who gave their lives
- Build lasting bonds of brotherhood among members
Rooted in Fort Pierce
Our chapter is based in Fort Pierce, Florida, and proudly serves the Treasure Coast region. Through rides, memorial events, open houses, and chapter activities, we stay connected to our members, our families, and our local community.
Why We Ride
More than motorcycles
The motorcycle lifestyle is part of our identity, but the heart of the chapter is far deeper than the ride itself. We come together as veterans, as brothers, and as men committed to honoring service, supporting one another, and representing something larger than ourselves.
Whether it is a memorial gathering, a community event, a fundraiser, an open house, or time spent with brothers around the fire, the chapter carries forward a spirit of unity, remembrance, and purpose.
Membership & Club Info
Objectives, requirements, and the path to membership
Objectives
The U.S. Military Vets M/C was established in 1987 and incorporated as a non-profit organization. As a national organization, the club is built around several core objectives:
- Provide a club for qualified male military veterans that offers brotherhood and the chance to build lasting relationships with other veterans who served in defense of the United States.
- Establish and support a strong sense of pride in having served in the active military service of the United States of America.
- Improve the public image of military veterans and bikers through conduct, service, and representation.
Membership Requirements
- Male applicants must have a DD Form 214 and 181 days or more of active duty service. Reserve and National Guard members may count active duty for training and summer camp time.
- Applicants must have full rights to veterans benefits and an Honorable Discharge, or be currently serving on active duty for more than 181 days, or currently serving in the National Guard or Reserves.
- Have a valid motorcycle operator’s license.
- Pay monthly dues.
Membership Process
Every prospective member is expected to conduct himself in a way that reflects positively on the U.S. Military Vets Motorcycle Club, the motorcycle club community, and the general public.
The membership process is designed to make sure a prospective member is a good fit for the brotherhood and understands the standards, conduct, and commitment expected of a patch holder.
How It Starts
Detailed Membership Process
Becoming a member of the U.S. Military Vets M/C is not an application you fill out — it is a process you go through. The process exists to protect the brotherhood and to make sure every man who earns a patch is ready to wear it.
Come Around
The first step is showing up. Attend events, open houses, and bike nights. Get to know the brothers and let them get to know you. There is no pressure and no timeline. This is about finding out if the fit is right — for both sides.
Hang Around
If there is mutual interest, you may be invited to hang around the chapter on a more regular basis. During this phase you will spend time with patched members, learn how the club operates, and start to understand what is expected of a member. This is not a commitment yet — it is an opportunity to see the brotherhood up close.
Prospect
If the chapter sees potential and you are ready to commit, you may be offered a prospect patch. As a prospect, you are actively working toward full membership. You will learn MC protocol, club history, and what it means to represent the U.S. Military Vets M/C. This phase requires dedication, humility, and consistency. It is earned, not given.
Probate
After prospecting, there is a probationary period where you continue to demonstrate your commitment and reliability as a brother. The chapter votes on whether you have earned the right to wear the full patch.
Full Patch Member
When you earn your patch, you are a member of the U.S. Military Vets M/C — part of a nationwide brotherhood of veterans who have all walked the same path you did.
A Few Things to Understand
- Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee membership
- The process takes time — there are no shortcuts
- Every man who wears the patch went through the same process
- Conduct, character, and commitment matter more than anything else
- If you are looking for a social club or a riding group, this is not it — we are a motorcycle club
