About Us

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Riders, Sky Islands Chapter is the motorcycle committee for District 7 within VFW's Department of Arizona. Located in throughout Cochise County, and primarily based out of Sierra Vista, the VFW Riders Sky Islands Chapter is made up of 
members of the VFW and VFW Auxiliaries in good standing from VFW Post 836 (Bisbee), VFW Post 2066 (Nogales), VFW Post 6271 (Benson), VFW Post 9972 (Sierra Vista), VFW Post 9977 (Pearce), VFW Post 10342 (Huachuca City), VFW Post 10385 (Thacher) and VFW Post 10432 (Patagonia).

We are a family oriented group of motorcyclists within the VFW
that enjoy the pastime of motorcycling, support our military and veterans, and participate within the local motorcycle community.

Due to our status as a committee of the VFW, our charter limits us from becoming Motorcycle Club (MC) and/or allowing us to request to join the Arizona Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs (AzCMC). However, we do support our local motorcycle community and attend runs and events that are put on by other organizations that we feel benefit the community.

Our organization does not discriminate by class, race, nationality, or gender, but does require members to maintain membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars or one of its Auxiliaries.
