THE PURPLE HEART RIDERS ARE A brotherhood OF COMBAT WOUNDED MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
Membership in the Purple Heart Riders is restricted to those American Military Veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart Medal for Wounds received in Combat. There are no exceptions. You are eligible to become a member of this very restricted and prestigious organization of motorcycle riders and wear our Colors by the very fact that you were Wounded-in-Action, received the Purple Heart Medal and own and ride a Motorcycle of 500cc or greater. Upon verification of your Award and approval by the National Board, you will be vested as a full member with all rights and privileges of general membership. You must understand and appreciate that we verify that you are indeed a recipient of the Purple Heart Medal and it is a requirement you submit a copy of your DD214 demonstrating the Award.
