Protectors LEMC Paladin Chapter Rallies Behind VBAS with National Gathering

The sound of engines and the spirit of service rolled into Ozark on Friday as the Protectors Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC), Paladin Chapter, hosted a visit to Vivian B. Adams School (VBAS) as part of their 2025 national meeting. The event marked another chapter in a growing bond between VBAS and the club that has “adopted” the school as part of its ongoing commitment to serving and meeting needs in our community.

Chapter members from across the United States and Canada—including Alabama, Iowa, Arkansas, Illinois, New York, Texas, Ohio, Missouri—gathered at VBAS for a uniquely modified “motorcycle rally.” The event was filled with connection, joy, and hands-on support for the school’s mission to provide quality education and services for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

This group is more than a motorcycle club; it is a nationwide brotherhood of law enforcement officers, military veterans, first responders, and like-minded individuals dedicated to helping communities and those in need. Their visit to VBAS wasn’t just a stop on the road—it was a reaffirmation of their mission.

“The students at VBAS have found a special place in our hearts,” said Justin Moore, Protectors President, “Our visits are not just about showing up; they’re about showing support, love, and solidarity.”

The Paladin Chapter visits VBAS quarterly, bringing energy, encouragement, and meaningful engagement. These visits offer students and staff alike the chance to interact with individuals who embody service, strength, and compassion.

Beyond their support of VBAS, the clubs are active in a wide range of charitable causes, including fundraising for cancer research, fighting human trafficking, and supporting nonprofits that serve individuals with special needs. Their community-focused mission aligns perfectly with the values VBAS holds dear.

The June 6th event served not only as a rally but also as a celebration of shared values between the Protectors LEMC and VBAS—community, respect, and unwavering support for one another.

As the riders continued to their national meeting in Dothan, they left behind more than the echoes of a good time—they left hope, inspiration, and a lasting bond that continues to grow stronger with every visit.
