An American Legion post in Greenlawn is looking for riders to join a motorcycle association connected with the post.
“We ride in the parades and that type of stuff,” explained Dennis Giunta, the post’s vice commander and the organizer of the group. “But it’s also to promote motorcycle safety,” and to work on American Legion projects. “We collect the flags that have to be burned … that are old.”
Legion members need not be associated with the Greenlawn post to join the Legion Riders. “If someone doesn’t have a chapter in their post they can come and join ours,” Giunta explained. The group now has four members, each a member of the post as well.
“I thought it would be something to bring in some young people as well, because it tends to be a much older organization,” he added.
Legion Riders began in Michigan in 1993, according to the national group’s Web site, and now has members in 48 states. Other Suffolk chapters include Brentwood, Hampton Bays and Sayville.
For information about joining, contact Giunta at 631-754-4281 or e-mail him at dendelion@aol.com
