“It is appropriate to pause between the hectic election cycle that just concluded and the busy holiday season that is about to begin and take time to reflect on the great service and sacrifices of our military veterans, who ensure our freedom to enjoy all that this great nation offers,” said Rob Dingman, AMA president and CEO. “We at the AMA extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who so bravely served our country and to their families, who supported them during their service.”

The AMA proudly counts many veterans among its members and veterans’ groups among its chartered clubs.

“Veterans have always been a part of the motorcycle lifestyle,” Dingman said. “And we welcome them and the bedrock values they represent.”

One way the AMA demonstrates its commitment to veterans and its respect for their selfless service is by offering the military affinity membership card. Those joining the AMA or renewing their memberships may select the military affinity card online at www.americanmotorcyclist.com.
