@9998833 If you haven't already joined, go to your local state Patriot Guard website and sign up. It is easy enough and you don't need to have a bike, all who want to join are welcome, this is what it is all about honor, respect, and serve.
I used to work for the military as an administrator and I have the UTMOST respect for our service menbers. It is because of them that we are able to remain safe as a nation. I don't agree with or promote senseless war, but I understand the need for military protection. Our fallen heroes don't get enough respect. Plain and simple.
Been PGR for years. Our community's 1st Chief of Police passed away 3 yrs ago & his family begged this rider to loan his H-D for a funeral procession.
They then took it joy riding and inflicted over $5000 in damages. When the rider expected them to cover the damages they tried to intimidate him and file charges on him.
The only people to stand up for this rider WAS VETERANS.
The local P.D., district attorney and J.P. all lied to him to cover for their cop buddy.
SO AWESOME, SO AWESOME, Thank you, thank you, thank you, Patriot Guard Riders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you!!!! You are amazing. What a gift you are to this country and to all humanity!
why do all my daydreams about i want to do to the WBC(AKA THE KLANS KLOWNS) always include something that is big ,yellow,and the name CATERPILLAR on the hood?
As a family member of a long line of Marines, and as a mother of a new Marine. I love each and everyone of you PGR's; I thank you for all you do for the families of Fallen Heroes, as well as the Heroes that are being laid to rest. May God protect each of you on those long and difficult journeys.
II am a widow of 37 years to a USMC veteran. He died of service connected disabilities, who had to come home from Vietnam to being mocked from the very country he was defending. And he said, "I would do it again." He never talked much about his experiences, except that his close friend was blown out of the fox hole they were in. He would of taken his own life for hi friend as he had a wife and child. God Bless the Patriot Guard, God Bless America,I love and miss you, honey.
Someone always has to click the thumbs down. I'd like them to be in the place of these widows and moms. Or live somewhere that doesn't have our freedoms. What tools.
I was so impressed with the Patriot Guard. As a christian I was so hurt by the misguided acts of people who profess to know God when God also weeps for lost soldiers. Thank you so much for your support of these individuals and their families.
Although PGR members are mostly motorcycle riders you don't need to ride to join. I drive a car and joined the PGR in 2008. Best thing I've ever done. We also attend deployments and welcome homes, at the request of the military or family.
When I can get a motorcycle license, I'm joining this guys :) GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS! GOD BLESS THE USA! THANK YOU SOLDIERS, SERVICEMEN, AND WOMEN! THANK YOU! THERE IS NO ONE I HAVE HIGHER RESPECT FOR! You give yourselves in life, no one has the right to take your honor in death. <3
I got chills when I saw this. When one of those guys said he was called a baby killer when he got back from Nam I identified with him because that's what I was called when I got back too.
You do not need a bike my friends to be a member: patriot guard.org
There are no dues, no monthly meetings. Get registered, read FAQ, receive email notices. It is not about Politics, its not about the PGR. It is about assembling in an orderly manor to Honor those who Secure the Liberty to do So.
First off, I'd like to thank both the Men and Women who so proudly serve our country and protect our freedom. I'd also like to thank the families who have given their children, husbands, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews for our country. I'd also like to thank you riders for honoring those lives who have given their lives for us... God Bless YOU all!!!
God bless each and every member of the Patriot Guards as well as all our past, present, and future service members. You are appreciated, loved and a true blessing
I'd ride with them if I could but I am in a losing battle with Agent Orange! God Bless those riders that allow our fallen soldiers to be honored as they should be for their service!
These men uphold our country's values and deserve credit for protecting the families of the fallen from the unwanted and unwarranted intrusion of some crazy cult like the nuts associated with the WBC. I thank each of them for their time and effort. God bless America.
God Bless these riders, as a mother of a fallen hero I know the pain and sorrow that these poor families are enduring. The Patriot Riders were at my son's funeral and stayed at my home outside all night the night before. It is just not natural to out live your children, but thanks to these wonderful riders my son was buried in peace and I will forever be grateful to them. Rest in peace all Soldiers yor are loved and remembered. Thank you for your service.
Hell is too good for those bastards at WBC, the tables need to be turned on them. THANK GOD FOR THE PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS, real heroes to me. Sooner or later some of the WBC wil fall, then lets try some role reversal.
You don't need a motorcycle to join the Patriot Guard. Go to their website and sign up. You will be put in touch with a Ride Captain for your geographic region and will receive emails about upcoming missions in your area
Beautiful. My wife and I were speechless after watching the video. As a Veteran, I thank the patriot riders for standing up for those we lost. Especially in light of the recent court ruling.
God Bless the patriot riders not only are that great Americans they are God's Warriors of peace. I will never know how bad it feels for those familes who gone though this pain but I could only imagine. I have a Cousin -In Law who surived in Iraq and is serving for the U.S Army. I wish I could take a high power hose and blast the hell out the Devil Fred Phelps and his Westboro Communist Pigs. And to hovanti Someday you will afford the bike you want because good people like you will be rewarded.
Thank you Patriot Guard Riders. Thank you for what you do for our fallen soldiers. At least there is a good group of individuals to show up to a funneral that respect the fallen and ward off the disrespectful. Thank you.
I understand this isnt the official patriot guard rider page but i would like to thank you all for the service you provide to the fallen hero's of our country
@hovanti I am a member of the Kansas Patriot Guard and you don't need a bike to hold a flag to shield the soldiers' funeral from the Phelps and the WBC.
@hovanti My friend. A motorcycle is not required. All we ask is for you to show your most sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities, and to shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
@rsbeckwell I am from Gastonia, N.C. but currently live in Charleston, S.C. I was just alerted by friends that the WBC plan on protesting at the funeral of Lcpl Nic O'Brien at the First Assembly of God church on Myrtle School Road tomorrow at 1 p.m. I pray the Patriot Guard Riders will be there. Thank God for all of you and the dignity, respect, and peace you bring.
@hovanti You do not need a motorcycle to be a member of the Patriot Guard. All are welcome as long as they beleive it is the right thing to do. All it costs is the price of a 3X5 flag and your time.
Thank you for what you do. It does make a difference. Thanks to you and any groups who help to keep the honor and dignity of these funerals from being besmirched by any other religious and/or political groups.
Fred Phelps, and his entire Westboro Baptist "Church" will burn in Hell is there ever was one. Baffling that some people can be so stupid and brainwashed. God Bless America and those who have perished in the name of her.
excellent video, id heard about these guys standing between the WBC and the families and i have a lot of respect for what they do. I have a hard time comprehending how people are able to restrain themselves from literally physically hurting members of the WBC.
Most of my family served in the military My brother was also in Viet Nam and is still dealing with it..I am honored to have ran across you dear brothers.I pray the Lords blessings on each and everyone of you.My heart is full of respect for you.Our military deserve the best we can give them and thanks to you they will have.Forever grateful.
Proud member of The Patriot Guard Riders...... Gos bless ALL of our American hero's !!!!!!
