GREETINGS FELLOW PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS:
I am taking this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who have volunteered your time away from your families and/or work, to honor and pay final respects to our deceased military veterans and to express our condolences to their families.
Within the last months, we have been given ample notification and at other times, a very short notice to prepare, but regardless of the time frame, each one of you have stepped up to the plate and have presented yourselves with dignity.
This is what makes the PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS who we are. Presenting and conducting ourselves in a professional manner.
Again, to each and everyone, A BIG THANK YOU!
IT IS ALL ABOUT OUR WARRIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES, NOT ABOUT US!
God Bless You and as always, RIDE SAFE & BE SAFE.

The Patriot Guard Riders Mission Statement
Mission Statement:
The Patriot Guard Riders is a 100% volunteer, federally registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization which ensures dignity and respect at memorial services honoring fallen military heroes, first responders, and honorably discharged veterans.
Vision Statement:
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security, including fallen military heroes, first responders, and honorably discharged veterans. If you share this respect, please join us.
We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.
Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives:
1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protester or group of protesters.
We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.
To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedom of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.
