Vance & Hines, America's premier manufacturer of motorcycle performance products, chose Remembrance Day/Veterans Day to introduce their V02 Military Power Series of intakes honoring five branches of the US military.
In recognition of active US military members and veterans, each product sold will generate a $50 donation to Children of Fallen Patriots, a non-profit which supports education for families who lost a loved one in service to the country. Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation's mission is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. Founded in 2002, the 501(c)3 non-profit has served hundreds of military families.
The program is inspired by the pride that military members feel about their service to America, including Vance & Hines co-founder Byron Hines, who served in the US Army. The products fit most late-model Harley-Davidson motorcycles and are “officially licensed” and approved by the branches of the military. Hines served 22 months in Vietnam. "I spent the time thinking about the motorcycle I was going to buy when I made it home," said Hines. "It's important for veterans like myself to help other veterans and to show them the appreciation they've earned. We show that through our veteran workforce, by supporting military families and by helping them show their pride with this special line of products. I'm proud to put one on my own motorcycle."
"There's no stronger statement of American pride than a military veteran on a Harley," added Vance & Hines President Mike Kennedy. "That's why we're so happy to create the Military Power Series and to work with great partners like Children of Fallen Patriots and J&P Cycles. We're adding exhilaration and pride to every motorcycle ride for these veterans."
