Bryan Childs, 3rd Vice Commander 2025-26
Palm Valley Post 233
In April 2026, Bryan was performing a motorcycle funeral escort for a deceased veteran. During the procession his cycle was
struck by another vehicle and he sustained severe injuries to his right leg. Bryan was airlifted to the hospital. After several
unsuccessful operations on his right leg, it finally had to be removed.
In addition to being the 3rd Vice Commander, previous to the accident Bryan was elected the Assistant Director of Legion
Riders Chapter 233. A ‘Benefit Ride’ for Bryan was held in May 2026, and donations which yielded several thousands of dollars
was collected by the Riders. A Go-Fund-Me account has been established to help Bryan and his family with his medical and other
unforeseen expenses.
