Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Nebraska II hosted its 4th Annual Shop with a Knight on December 5, 2017. This night is special because Nebraska II hosts two disabled US Veterans and their family for a night of shopping and dinner. Each family was allowed to spend up to $500 on toys, clothing and food for their families. As in the past these veterans appreciate all the help they can get during their time of need. The kids were treated to treats and good ole Saint Nick even showed up to hear the wishes of the children.

Blue Knights® Intl LEMC, Nebraska II rolled into Keokuk, Iowa on June 9, 2016 to support Iowa VI for the Spring Conference. With a total of 15 members and 2 Lady Knights, Nebraska II brought home the award for most members in attendance! But the awards didn’t stop there. The Iowa Sixers challenged Nebraska II to a food eating contest! This contest took place at Dr. Getwell’s with the world famous heart attack challenge! The Sixers pitted their two best against the Deuce’s own, President Paul Briese and Jeff “Yeti” Longwell! If there was ever a sucker bet this was it! In no time at all Paul and Yeti had their plates clean, besting the challengers with minutes left on the clock! Although the champions appeared in good health, an evaluation the next morning showed that the fine food was still sitting proudly in their upper stomach! Five Nebraska II members were presented with the Mid-West Regional Conference Chivalry Award. This award is presented to members that went above and beyond the call, which could be both on and off-duty. In this case the 5 Nebraska II members were off-duty en-route to Sturgis during August 2015. These members along with an Iowa Sixer and 4 IN X members witnessed a major accident involving a motorcycle rider and his passenger. Their efforts saved the life of the rider and helped the passenger with her non-life threatening injuries. This accident demonstrated how Blue Knights® from different chapters traveling in separate groups came together as a team and showed the community and those involved in the accident just how the brotherhood...

The Blue Knights® Intl LEMC, Nebraska Chapter II came together and in different parts of the country to support National Police Week. National Police Week was designated by President John F. Kennedy to fall on the week that included May 15 each year. The Joint Resolution was approved by Congress on October 1, 1962 to have the President Designate May 15 of each year as Peace Officers Memorial Day. Each year many Law Enforcement Officers from every branch place themselves in harms way to protect the citizens of their communities. Many of those Officer’s never return from their tour of duty and this year 123 Law Enforcement Officer’s names were added to the National Memorial in Washington D.C.. One of those names was Omaha’s own Det. Kerrie Orozco.
