Default Patriot Guard Riders

Because I did not want to hijack the post your picture thread I thought I'd do this as a new one.

I noticed that one of our members is also a member of this fine organization. You Sir, and those who ride with you have my undying respect. Thank you for all that you do to ensure that those that "gave all" are treated with the dignity and honor they deserve.

Regardless of political stripe or opinion of the justification of the particular conflict (I grew up in the Vietnam Era), all our vets and especially the deceased and their families should be given a healthy dose of courtesy and respect.

Thank you! And God Bless.

I agree 100%. Regardless of nationality, politics, or beliefs, those who served to preserve our freedom deserve our gratitude and respect.

Thanks, Jim, for that tribute to the Patriot Guard Riders. I'll pass it on to my brother, who's a member. Good job, a tribute well deserved.

The Seattle Washington Patriot Guard Riders stood a flag line as we boarded the boat for my parents' interring of ashes in Puget Sound 2 weeks ago. It was an incredibly moving tribute for our family and we're forever grateful for their presence.

The first time I saw them in action was at a close friend's funeral in Phoenix. The Guard stood a flag line both at the church and then again at at the veteran's cemetery. Between the two, they provided escort to the cemetery and held traffic at intersections along the way.

They are a great bunch of people who are doing a tremendous service to veterans and their grieving families.

Best to them,
PJ

I had the privilege and the honor of leading the funeral procession from the church to the cemetery for my friend Lance Corporal Dominic (Domino) Schraft.
He was killed at Camp Pendleton in a training accident (a ricochet). Hundreds of PG Riders from across the country joined our Missouri chapter to escort this great Marine.
I said a few words on the local news but I could have talked all day about Domino.

ALL are welcome in the PGR. Please join us. https://www.patriotguard.org
