They ride to honor those who gave their all...
It's not mandatory that you be a rider in order to join--you just need to agree with their mission. I joined today, and currently there are over 11,000 registered members. If you're as sickened as I am regarding these protests at military funerals, please think about supporting this organization today. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than thwarting the agenda of these dunderheads and honoring what should be a solemn occasion.Patriot Guard Riders Mission StatementThe 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 Americas freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.
We dont care what you ride, what your political views are, or whether youre a "hawk" or a "dove". It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where youre from or what your income is. You dont 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 friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.
