 VFW Department of Michigan Riders Group Mission:

The Department of Michigan VFW Riders Groups are dedicated to fostering camaraderie, service, and honor within our communities. Our mission is to unite as a powerful force, steadfastly supporting the objectives of the VFW National, Department of Michigan, Districts, and Posts. With a shared commitment to community engagement, patriotic endeavors, and unwavering support for our fellow veterans, we aim to drive positive change. As riders, we navigate the road ahead with unity, resilience, and a deep dedication to the values that define the VFW, ensuring that our actions reflect the highest standards of service and honor.

There are more than 600,000 licensed motorcyclists in Michigan. In 2022 — the last year for which complete data is available — Michigan recorded 3,158 motorcycle crashes statewide, of which 1,643 involved a motorcyclist and passenger vehicle.

Motorcyclists also are four times more likely to suffer serious injury and 24 times more likely to be killed in a crash than is an occupant of a passenger vehicle, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

 Data from the Michigan State Police and NHTSA shows that most crashes happen at intersections on local roads and streets, not on highways. The most frequent crash occurrence is when a vehicle turning left strikes an oncoming motorcycle.

 

Beginning this year the Department VFW Riders Group is establishing an Annual Honor Award Program.  The program criteria follows on this program page as a downloadable PDF document.  This Honor Award Program is intended to recognize those Rider Groups which are fulfilling the Department Riders Group Mission Statement.
