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.

PGR Escort Update

We have a mission on Saturday, February 25, 2012. We will meet at Fun-N-Sun RV Park in San Benito at 9:15, in the front parking lot and proceed to the Rec Hall. At least 5 bikes need to have big flags for the escort from the house to the hall.
 
TV stations may be at the location, and Congressman Farenthold will present the gentleman his citation for his Silver Star Award. We will do a flag line for the WWII veteran at 10:00.
 
Fun-N-Sun RV Park is located at 1400 Zillock Road, San Benito, TX. It is south of the Harley Davidson dealership. It is on the same side of the expressway, just further back from the expressway.
 
Any questions, call me at 956-371-5204 or David or Joe.
