History/info of the Green Knights (cont) Founded on the principles/values of: Charity, Honor, Truth, Respect, Support, Loyalty, and Commitment 2004 - The Air Force uses a template from the Green Knights as a standard format for all bases.

Why the name Green Knights? When we first started the club we searched for a name that all branches of the service could rally behind. While searching for names, we came across the Blue Knights. They were very helpful and informed us of other “Knight” clubs. So far there are the following: Blue Knight MC- Law Enforcement Gold Knights MC- Retired Law Enforcement Red Knights MC- Fire Department White Knights MC- EMT’s In keeping with the “Knight” theme we decided on the color Green represented the old green style uniformed that our services worn in the past. Plus it sounded better then the Camouflage Knights. The Knights name was liked due to the old medieval code of the knight: Charity, Honor, Truth, Respect, Support, Loyalty, and Commitment

Basic Design Modeled after the Air Crew design. This is still a singe patch. The Green Knights do not use a Three Patch system.
Iron Cross A symbol adopted first by fire departments around the world and then by motorcyclists. It is a symbol to represent protection and safe return.
Circle This is a favorite symbol to use for colors.
