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 37 chapters in ten 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.
