Patriot Guard riderS

Founded in 2005 to shield families of fallen heroes from those that
would disrupt the services of their loved ones, the Patriot Guard
Riders has grown to include thousands of members across all 50
states in the US. We are a 100% volunteer 501(c)(3) organization.
As our membership has grown, so has the scope of our mission.
We also honor first responders as well as our military veterans.

We commonly get asked “How do I join, and what is required”.
Joining the PGR is pretty simple.
Visit www.patriotguard.org/member-registration/ to sign up

Anyone and everyone can join and stand with us. You don’t need
to be a veteran, and you don’t need to ride a bike. All you need is
respect for our military, veterans, and first responders; and desire
to show that respect to them and their families.
