The Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) is a diverse amalgamation over 150,000 members from every state in the nation that ride together to honor all our fallen military servicemen, women  and Veterans across  the country. They have one thing in common besides motorcycles;  an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America's freedom and security. lf you share this respect, please join us. We don't care what you ride, what your political views are, or whether you're a "hawk" or a "dove."  It is not a requirement to be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you are from or what your income is.  You don't even have to ride.  The only prerequisite is RESPECT.

...to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited quests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives:

l.  Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
2. Shield the mourning family and friends from interruptions that might be created.
