ABOUT US
In the summer of 1989,
a small group of Harley-riding combat Vets of the Vietnam
War, who were also police officers, banded together to the
form the Nam Knights. The club was founded in New Jersey by
Jack Quigley, now retired Under-sheriff of the The Bergen
County Sheriff's Department. Jack served as a platoon
sergeant with the 11th Motor Transport Battalion, First
Marine Division.
Today, the Nam Knights of America Motorcycle Club has grown
to 46 chapters in twelve states and 2 countries, with hundreds
of members made up of veteran's of all eras, law enforcement
personnel and a few special and dedicated "civilians."
Membership is approximately comprised of 50 % Vietnam and
other military veterans (active or retired), and50% law
enforcement personnel (active or retired). All members must
ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, or custom built
motorcycles with the appearance and construction which is
identical to a Harley and has engine parts that interchange
with Harley Davidson engine parts. Said custom engines must
have a minimum displacement of 750cc.
The mission of the Nam Knights is to honor the memory of
American Veterans and Police Officers who have lost their
lives in the line of duty, to assist Veterans and Police
Officers in their time of need, and to promote community
awareness through sponsorship and participation in various
community and fund-raising events. The Nam Knights
Motorcycle Club continues to grow and thrive due to the
extraordinary dedication of its members, their families and
our benevolent supports. |
