Being a Patriot Guard Rider is the most meaningful thing I have ever done.

Boy you make it hard to wake up and not have to put on sunglasses, Those are incredible videos even though I wish we didn't have to do missions like those I am very proud to be part of the PGR. Every time I do a funereal I am more dedicated to the mission of what PGR does.
Thanks.
Jim

Well I am heading out in a few for my first PGR mission for a wounded Marine returning for a early Thanksgiving and will be receiving a Purple Heart as well. It is as my temp reads about 27 degrees outside right now. Should be a good test for my newly acquired heated gear. The meeting place is about 1 1/2 hrs away, nice day for a ride. Well a good reason anyways!!!!

Good luck and God Bless. Don't forget to intro yourself and let the Ride Captain know it's your first so they can help you along.

Don't forget the sunglasses. I remember my first mission. Something that will be with me forever. At the flag line the Mother of our Fallen Hero walked the whole line and thanked everyone of us personally for bringing her Hero home to be at peace once again. A very humbling experience and rightfully so.

Well I did my 1st mission on Sunday and it went very well. Met some pretty nice folks and I was proud to be a part of welcoming home a Marine. The city had several police and fire engines as well as a military escort. Many of the people within the community were out with flags and signs, many cars stopped that were heading the opposite direction and showed respect to a level that somehow I cant explain, but was pretty powerful. As cold as the day was, this was an absolute great experience that I will look forward to be able to be a part of in the future.
