About Chapter #443
Veterans, Family, and the Open Road
The American Legion Riders bring together eligible members of the American Legion Family who share a love of motorcycling and a commitment to veterans, their families, youth, and community service.
Our Mission
Serve First. Ride Together. Leave Things Better.
Chapter #443 exists to put motorcycling to work for a purpose. We raise funds and awareness for veterans and their families, support youth and community programs, and represent the American Legion Family with respect wherever we ride.
We are not a club apart from the Legion — we are a program of the American Legion Family, made up of members who happen to ride. That means our service comes first and the miles follow.
Our home is Sanford, Michigan. The roads we ride, the families we help, and the events we support are mostly right here in our own backyard.
What We Do
Service That Shows Up
Charity Rides & Drives
We ride and organize for causes that support veterans, children, and families across Mid-Michigan.
Honor & Ceremony
Riders stand with the American Legion Family at memorials, parades, and honor details when called upon.
Veteran Support
We help veterans and families find their way to benefits, programs, and people who can help.
Post & Community Events
From Post #443 fundraisers to community celebrations, our members show up and pitch in.
Brotherhood, Sisterhood & the Open Road
Miles Make Friendships. Service Makes Them Last.
There's something honest about a group ride: everyone watching out for the rider next to them, everyone headed the same direction for the same reason. That same instinct carries into everything else we do.
Veterans who've been out for decades, newer members still finding their footing, spouses and family members, riders and passengers alike — all of it works because nobody is expected to do it alone.
You don't have to be the fastest rider or the loudest voice in the room. You just have to care about the mission and be willing to lend a hand.
