2025 Season Seven (7) is a wrap
NK Merrimack Valley Radio
Brother Sig from the Appalachian Chapter returns to the Podcast table with a promise to make regular appearances in the upcoming 8th Season! We start with the intent of looking back over the previous season. Not surprisingly, CY2025 was one of the busiest years in the chapter’s history, with an event a month. He remembers the K9 event in September as his personal highlight, but notes quickly that they also jumped in quickly on a fundraiser for a local police officer shot in the line of duty and another for the family of a police officer killed in the line of duty. ...

2025 Swamp Fox Chapter Call In
NK Merrimack Valley Radio
Swamp Fox Chapter Call In Today, we welcomed Brother Skee from the Swamp Fox Chapter in Charleston, SC to the podcast. Another great episode where no plan was the plan for the conversation! Skee introduces himself and the chapter at the outset. Serving both his country and community, not necessarily in that order. At 38 years of age, he decided to join the Navy and says he held his own with the other recruits, nearly twenty years his junior. After 6 years of service, he was sidelined with an injury and subsequently medically retired. The Swamp Fox located in Charleston SC,...

2025 Bloodstripe NC Chapter Call In
NK Merrimack Valley Radio
Bloodstripe Chapter Call In Brothers Roadside and Pennywise joined the podcast to introduce us to the Bloodstripe chapter. We had a great conversation about how they are working hard to make an impact and success with a close-knit knit small chapter. The chapter recently did some re-organizing to support both the Bloodstripe and 1st North chapters. The Bloodstripe chapter was founded in 2013 and comprised mainly of Marines. Over the years people have retired, moved away, and reduced the numbers overall. That was one of the biggest challenges for the chapter,...

info_outlineTRI BASE CHAPTER CALL IN
Opened up the lines for the Tri-Base Chapter with Brothers Kickz and Webster.
https://www.facebook.com/nkmctribase
They are kicking off their 10th Year of hosting Bike Nights at the Eden Stanley American Legion Post 294 (Pemberton NJ) beginning on Friday April 11th! Six Bike Nights from April through September, 2nd Friday of Every Month.
https://www.facebook.com/share/18WzdzuaSj
In June the chapter celebrates their 10 Year Anniversary! June 7th, Save the Date and mark it on your calendar because you sure are not going to want to miss this one!
You might think that’s a full dance card for a small close knit chapter triangulating three posts and bases but I found it was only the tip of the iceberg.
The chapter supports the Field of Flags, Wreaths Across America, and works directly with the Family Support offices on post to provide everything from Pumpkins to Diapers (and everything in between) for the families of those deployed.
And in the vane of supporting the troops, Kickz and Webster enthusiastically introduced the story of a young man named. Vincent Lorenzo
For the past three years, Vincent has been giving veterans handmade Christmas cards and gift cards to a local restaurant, to show his thanks and appreciation for all they have done.
“He started raising money by playing a saxophone on the corner of his street. There he met a group of local men called the Nam Knights of America Motorcycle Club (Tri-Base Chapter), which honor American veterans and police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty,” she said. “They were so touched by him that they have donated money to him the past three years so that he can reach more veterans.”

Innovation and creativity are evident in the Chapter’s social media, graphics, and support. Brother Webster commented that at times its best to let a graphic or idea stew a little . Such was the case with their 2nd (now) Annual upcoming Ladies Night event, the Dirty Bingo Fundraiser. They were both reluctant to divulge too many details but recounted how the idea first emerged during an evening gathering after attending the Eternal Chapter ceremony in Orlanda FL. At first dismissed, it returned and has now become one of their strongest events.
It's sold out again this year by the way.

Later in the season they’re planning a collaborative event at Riv’s Toms River Pub. A project that brings an event to a community partner and benefits the club & local veterans at the same time.

We wrapped with an all too familiar sentiment, that it’s important to focus on the reasons we are drawn to the Nam Knights MC in the first place. Brotherhood, belonging, call it what you want but its important not to lose sight of that too.
The Tri-Base is a small close knit powerhouse chapter that is clearly firing on all cylinders!
What an absolutely terrific episode, we squeezed the best of everything into 30 minutes!
