In the summer of 1989 a small group of Harley-riding combat vets of the Viet Nam War, who were also police officers, banded together to form the Nam Knights.

The Club was founded in New Jersey by Jack Quigley, now retired Undersheriff of The Bergen County Sheriff's Department. Jack served as a platoon sergeant with the 11th Motor Transport Battalion, First Marine Division.

Today, the Nam Knights of America Motorcycle Club has grown to 69 chapters in 16 states, Washington D.C. and two Canadian provinces, with hundreds of members made up of veteran's of all eras as well as law enforcement personnel plus a few special and dedicated "patriots."

As Jack has said: "The club was formed to recapture the brotherhood its founding members shared while serving in Southeast Asia, and to help other veterans of all wars who are unable to physically or financially help themselves."

"The mission of the Nam Knights 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 community and fund-raising events."

"The Nam Knights Motorcycle Club continues to grow and thrive due to the extraordinary dedication of its members, their families and our benevolent supporters."

Palm Beach County Chapter History

The original 8 founding members, Tony Schebell, Kent Grover, Willy Beale, Floyd Newsome, Dewey Morris, Jim Riggle, Mickey Giordano and Dennis Virostko founded the chapter back in 1994 after being part of the Orlando Chapter for about a year.

They would meet with them every month at the truck stop in Vero Beach at exit 60. Using the back room to conduct  meetings and carry out business.

After a year of that, the original members broke off and started the South Florida 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 Cease Fire House became our main fund raising benefactor.

Today, the Palm Beach County Chapter of the Nam Knights of America is as strongs as ever and still continues to support Vettsville along with many other Palm Beach County based veteran and law enforcement charities.
