Riders Chapter 132
American Legion Riders — freedom, brotherhood, and service on two wheels.
Riding for
Veterans
The American Legion Riders was established in 1993, bringing together Legion members who share a love of motorcycles and a commitment to serving veterans. Chapter 132 rides with purpose — from charity events and fundraisers to participating in military funeral escorts for fallen heroes.
Riders John Schutz — a Vietnam veteran and longtime chapter leader — and the members of Chapter 132 embody the spirit of the American Legion: honor, service, and camaraderie. They are a visible and powerful presence in the Orange community and at veterans events throughout Southern California.
Whether it's a charity ride for veterans, an escort for a Gold Star family, or simply the open road with fellow patriots — Chapter 132 rides together.
