The Desert Vets Motorcycle Club has humble beginnings as a group of soldiers who deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom. Shortly after deploying to the operation, I and several others banded together and formed a brotherhood within the brotherhood of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. In any branch of service there is always a sworn oath of commitment and dedication from one service member to another both wrote and unwritten. I and others decided to take that obligation much deeper and formed an organization to personally recognize, serve and protect our own to a higher degree of obligation. The founding members of DVMC feel that there are many issues that are very important to members of the U.S. armed forces that our higher command and elected leaders refuse to show merit too. Throughout the course of the conflicts in Somalia, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq as always we depended on each other to meet our needs, protect ourselves and support each other. We feel the respect we have for brotherhood, honesty, dedication to individuals that have the same common bond (actual combat) as we do, is the highest level of dedication to others there is. We all do what we have to do to get each other through the hardship of war. We also decided that a bond that strong and that special deserved nothing less than to be carried on once we made it back to the real world. (The United States)

Once we discovered how precious brotherhood really was we wanted to bring it home and spread the wealth. DVMC feels that there are many things that should remain secret but brotherhood is a privilege and gift that should be shared with all those who have the heart to live above the standard of being the average soldier. That is why you CAN’T even prospect with DVMC unless your form DD-214 can prove you were in actual combat in an operation protecting the interest of the American people who don’t have the privilege of making the sacrifice of protecting and fighting the greatest nation on the planet. WE feel that our dedication to the MC community and sacrifice for others deserves nothing less than a MC stature.

Upon returning to the United States we were fully aware that no matter how dedicated we were to the cause that we couldn’t just buy patches all alike and throw on a MC patch and do our thing without going through some channels. Unofficially we formed a club and adopted our name "Desert Vets" while we were still deployed. That was around July of 2003. When we returned home we officially began as a club on May 24, 2004. We navigated the channels necessary to being recognized as a club. We existed as a three-patch club from then till December of 2006 to show we were not a " Here today gone tomorrow kind a club" In December of 2006 we petitioned the dominant 1%er club of the state (NO NEED FOR NAMES HERE) for a MC sanction and were granted to put on the MC patch and we PROUDLY did so. DVMC is an honorable and respectable club. We are a behaviorally disciplined club. We have retired, active duty, National Guard and reserve members.
