The warriors who came home from World War II, purchased bikes, and grouped together are not a lot different from those from the nation's recent wars who have followed suit.
They prefer to associate with those who share similar experiences, as well as unbounded patriotism.
The wording on t-shirt worn by one young vet captures it well. "If my patriotism offends you, your lack of a spine offends me."
The camaraderie they learned and depended upon while in uniform is found in their biker clubs of today.
Along with the aforementioned camaraderie and patriotism, like their forefathers they believe in integrity, honesty, hard work, earning your way through life, straight talk, the Second Amendment, brotherhood, directness, freedom, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, standing for the National Anthem, saluting the American flag, honoring the fallen, and having a good time together.
Even though from different generations decades apart, the two groups of veterans are amazingly alike. And we certainly need more of them.
