As of 09 / 19 / 2008 The " Vietnam Vets Tribute Bike ", now the " Veteran Tribute Bike " D.B.A. " American Vets Tribute Bike," Inc. is registered as a Non- Profit Organization dedicated to helping Veteran causes.
Our website is a work in progress. Check us out at www.veterantributebike.org

We will soon have Posters, T- shirts , head tie downs, etc for sale at our website as well as on location where ever the Tribute Bike is displayed.
I have worked hard traveling to most of the major bike rally's in the United States putting on over 15,000 miles in the past 6 months alone displaying the Tribute Bike , meeting and welcoming home all Vets from all branches of the military from all wars. The plight of our Veterans are many and their hardships are real.
I along with Carla Spence have been working tirelessly to bring the plight of the " Defenders Of Our Freedom" to the eyes of the public and public officials. I did so out of pocket along with the small but generous donations dropped in my donation box along the way. It has drained me financially , but hopeful now as a Non- Profit Organization with an up and growing web-site not to mention a bank account where donations can be made I will be able to carry on. Not only with travels but in helping my fellow Vets over come there hardships.
We are now actively looking sponsorship from small and large corporations both Locally and Nationally so that our organization can really make a difference.
I know that GOD loves me . I wake up each morning on a mission from the heart. It drives me. And after all, when the going gets Tuf , the Tuf get going. Paratroopers never quit and I always was " Airborne All The Way".
If you are a Vet in need or an organization such as ours dedicated to helping our Hero's do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. As we grow, so will our ability to help and make a difference.

Remember - All gave some - Some gave all. Time was serve - Time to honor.
The nation which forgets its Defenders will itself be forgotten.
