The Beni Kedem Motor Corps has been active for more than thirty-six (36) years. Del Milam (not pictured here) and his late brother, Paul, founded the unit in 1960 and the unit has been performing ever since. The Motor Corps rides in 12 to 15 parades a year and responds to requests for appearances from Nursing Homes and other places where people are unable to leave to see them perform. Although most Shrine Temples across the country have a Motor Corps, each unit chooses its own vehicle. The Beni Kedem unit is possibly the only one in the country that still has a Cushman Silver Eagle Scooter of 1960's vintage.
