OUR STORY
The first motorcycle clubs were founded by veterans returning from war. Military members that came back from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan found it awkward and uncomfortable to talk about their experiences with people that either didn’t serve or they didn’t share a personal connection. There is one common thread that most veterans who ride motorcycles consistently say, “Riding a motorcycle is therapeutic; it calms me.” The Veteran Enhancement Project Inc. was founded to take action against veteran suicide, which claims the lives of 22 veterans a day.
OUR MISSION
STOPPING VETERAN SUICIDE ONE BUILD AT A TIME
DECREASING 22 IS OUR MISSION!
The VA estimates that 22 veterans commit suicide each day. This means approximately 8,030 veterans kill themselves every year, more than 5,540 of whom are 50 or older. Here at the Veteran Enhancement Project, we find those numbers to be intolerable, and we’re doing something about it!
Why We do what we do
Veterans returning from service often find that motorcycles are a therapeutic, healing process. Nobody gets that more than us. But what about veterans returning from their mission in a condition where they are unable to ride? Well, that’s where we step in. We build bikes for disabled veterans that are built special to accomoade their needs. And we do it absolutely free of charge to that veteran.
