Honor
This site is here to honor the members who have served their country........In 2001 STAR Touring and Riding formed
STAR VETS. As one of the fastest growing segments of the organization, STAR VETS honors and commemorates the sacrifices
of the men and women who have served or are currently serving their country.
Pride
Its a way of saying "We Will Never Forget". This segment of STAR Touring proudly displays their service
insignia, and places all veterans in special honor, no matter what motorcycle they ride. As a part of our new five inch
patch system, we now offer sub-patches for the MOS, Rank, Unit, and Theater of Operation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) today
praised the passage by unanimous
consent of his bill ( S.1877)
clarifying U.S. law to allow veterans and servicemen not in
uniform to salute the
flag. Current law (US Code Title 4,
Chapter 1) states that veterans and servicemen not in uniform
should place
their hand over their heart without clarifying
whether they can or should salute the flag.
"The salute is a form of honor and respect, representing pride
in one's military service," Senator
Inhofe said. "Veterans and
service members continue representing the military services even
when not in uniform.
"Unfortunately, current U.S. law leaves
confusion as to whether veterans and service members out of
uniform
can or should salute the flag. My legislation will
clarify this regulation, allowing veterans and servicemen alike
to salute the flag, whether they are in uniform or not.
"I look forward to seeing those who have served
saluting proudly
at baseball games, parades, and formal events. I believe this is
an appropriate way to honor
and recognize the 25 million
veterans in the United States who have served in the military
and remain as role
models to others citizens. Those who are
currently serving or have served in the military have earned
this right,
and their recognition will be an inspiration to
others."
This Bill was passed July 25, 2007. Let your
veteran friends
know about the Passage of this Bill.
