This site is dedicated to the 2.7 million Americans who severed during the Vietnam Era. The more than 58,000 who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to all those that still remain missing. Let us never forget!
Our mission is to honor the memory of American Veterans and Police Officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, to assist Veterans and Police Officers in their time of need and to promote community awareness through sponsorship and participation in various fund raising events.
The Nam Knights of America Motorcycle Clubs are proud to support Rolling Thunder. The major function of Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is to publicize the POW-MIA issue: To educate the public that many American Prisoners of War were left behind after all previous wars and to help correct the past and to protect future Veterans from being left behind should they become Prisoners of War-Missing In Action. We are also committed to helping American Veterans from all wars.
Parent Chapter History
The Nam Knights Of America is a motorcycle club consisting of Harley Davidson owners dedicated to honor the memory of those who lost their lives during the Vietnam war and to assist American veterans of all conflicts in times of need.
The club was founded by thirteen Vietnam Veterans who also happen to be police officers. In subsequent years membership was opened to non-law enforcement Vietnam Veterans, then to law enforcement officers. Special consideration is given to Vietnam Veterans and law enforcement officers. All clubs must keep within the By Laws with the proper percentage ratings of veterans and police officers.
From its humble start, the club has seen rapid growth in the last 20 years. there are currently 56 chapters consisting of over 900 members and growing.
The Nam Knights Of America is also in support of police officers that have fallen in the line of duty and to all police officers that may be in need. Our club formed with the intent to support both veteran and police functions.
Local Chapter History
The original 8 founding members, Tony Schebell, Kent Grover, Willy Beale, Floyd Newsome, Dewey Morris, Jim Riggle, Phil Forte and Dennis Virostko founded the chapter back in 1994 after being part of the Orlando Chapter for about a year.
We would meet with them every month at the truck stop in Vero Beach at exit 60. Using the back room to conduct our meetings and carry out business.
Well after a year of that, we broke off and started the South Florida Chapter (not yet called the Rolex Chapter!!) The chapter grew fast to about 53 members strong. The Nam Knights were featured by the West Palm Beach Bobcats arena football team at all the home games
Chris Noel and the Vettsville became our main fund raising Benefactor.
Today, the Palm Beach County chapter of the Nam Knights of America (Rolex Chapter) is well over 60 members strong and still continues to support Vettsville along with several veteran and law enforcement charities
