We are a brotherhood of Marines & Navy
Corpsmen, who share a common bond.
The love of Motorcycles, and the open road.
Along with that, there is the Brotherhood
that develops with members, as they share adventures, some good-some not so
good. But through it all, a bond takes place, and that bond is forever. What we
do as members of this club shall be forever entered into the history of this
outstanding organization, and those who follow as future members will learn from
our examples, and mistakes.
This is, and will be our
Legacy.
It is our obligation to ourselves, and to our
club, to insure that History will tell of the Men of the Tun Tavern
Leathernecks, and how they showed what real “Brotherhood” is all about.
As Marines, we have been taught that Honor,
and Integrity, combined with Courage and Commitment, should be our Hallmark. Not
to wait in question, but to act decisively, and with enthusiasm. For not acting,
shall surely bring about failure of the mission.
As Leathernecks, the same principles apply. A
true brother will never let others carry the weight of responsibility for him.
Instead, he shall act out of selflessness to help lift the burden when he sees
his brother has a heavy load that may be too much to bear.
A true brother will not sit idly by, and reap
the benefits of what other members have contributed, while they themselves do
nothing but complain about what is wrong with the club.
A true brother picks up the phone and asks
what his brother needs, instead of sitting back in the shadows hoping he can get
out of a run, or other club obligation.
There is, and shall never be, room in this
club for marginal members.
We are a volunteer organization, with no one
being forced to wear our Patch.
If you do not fit the
above criteria, you are not worth consideration to be a member.
Not everyone can be
a Marine, or it wouldn't be the Marines
Even less can claim the title
