Patches With A Purpose

MFC MC

WHO WERE ARE

The MFC is the Military, Firefighter, and Cops Motorcycle Club. We are intensely proud Americans who believe in the principles that this country was founded upon and the rule of law. Our founding members were former members of a club open only to active and retired law enforcement officers who ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles. After years of turning away potential members because they didn’t meet membership requirements, they decided a new club was needed to fill the void and the MFC was created.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Our Patch defines in-depth, who we are and what we stand for. The center patch contains the Shield, a universal symbol used by the military, law enforcement, and firefighters/ EMS as an emblem of service. The Black Slash represents the black banner we all wear on our shields when a Brother or Sister has given their lives in the defense of our country and its people. The Red Field represents the blood of those who have sacrificed all in the name of freedom. The Lightning Bolts represent the swift and sure response in defense of our Brothers and Sisters in time of need. The Skull is the universal symbol of bikers, and its prominence represents the common bond of our shared passion for riding motorcycles. The Banner at the base of the shield is written in Latin “Libertas Vel Mors” and states our core belief – “Freedom or Death”

OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE

Our club participates in hosting fundraising events for charities, destination rides to special events or locations, benefits that support our service branches and or related causes, parades, funeral escorts, member-only social events, competitions, and more.MFC MC gives back to those who made this country great and free. All chapters donate to charities of their choice. The Rocky Top Chapter has chosen PTSD as our cause. Most of us within this group either experience or understand the toll PTSD takes on those enduring it and their everyday lives. If we can bring comfort and more understanding to our community regarding PTSD, then we feel the work we do is well worth it. In addition, we work side by side with donations to other MFC MC chapters that are supporting their local law enforcement, military, and charity organizations.
