We Are A Family Oriented Club.

We Are Absolutely Nonpolitical.

Distinction of class, nationality, or sect will not be recognized nor tolerated by our organization. Our members act in good faith with other members, and uphold the finest traditions of the United States Marine Corps.

There is no distinction of military rank in the Confederation of Leathernecks.

Our members come from all walks of life, some are active duty Marines and FMF Corpsmen and others are not.

Some served in times of conflicts and others served in times of peace.

We ride all types of motorcycles both, foreign and domestic, two and three wheelers and those with sidecars too. It isn't the type of machine that counts; it's the fact that we are Marines, with the love for the lifestyle of motorcycling in common. Our Membership consists of a very special breed of person. In most Military Services, you can be all that you can be. But the Members of this Club, who joined the Marines found themselves being more than they ever thought possible. Both Marines and the Fleet Marine Force Corpsman who wore the Eagle, Globe and Anchor have a very special bond and loyalty to one another, that even we find hard to explain. Although we find it hard to explain it comes quite naturally. And when you combine this bond with the love of motorcycling through the beauty of mother nature, in the country we would die for you've created a breed of person........

"A United States Marine"

Texas Chapter VIII will uphold the Texas and National By-Laws, donate to charities and strengthen the bond between our Veterans and active duty Marines and FMF Corpsmen and their families. We will ride together.

We will support Leathernecks from other states and other chapters.

We will always uphold the finest traditions of the United States Marine Corps
