Thanks Kermit. I don’t think anyone is a fan of war…or at least I hope not, but everyone deserves respect and a dignified burial without protesters. I really don’t think those protesters were protesting the war…they were pretty wacky.

Thank God for the RIDERS. I am not a big fan of this war, but the fallen deserve a dignified burial, and their grieving families should be comforted, not harassed.

Thank you Lysa. I cried as I wrote it! That video a Tribute to Bobby and the song Like A Rock clinched it for me. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Monika,
I watched the video in full before reading your post, it makes me proud to be in the biker world and an American. Bikers are so misunderstood by folks that don’t know us. We are there for you in good times and bad. We won’t disappear when you need us the most, in fact we’ll be there you stronger then you can imagine.

You did a wonderful job on this post Monika. I’ve known about the Patriot Riders since 05 and am so proud of them. Now you know them too and you did a fine job introducing them to the Nation. I had shivers up my spine and tears in my eye the whole time I read it. Well done.

Ann,
Thanks so much for stopping by. I remember your post about that wreath ride. I am so impressed by the actions of the PGR and I hope they get the recognition they deserve.

Mariana,
Thanks. I bet you have the PGR in your area as well. I think they are all over the country. They list their honor missions on their website and it is something to see. Gives me chills.

Ines,
Thank you. I was worried about doing them justice. They are all about Freedom and Patriotism and they are willing to do something about it.

Monika – I had never heard of the Patriot Guide Riders until that day when you told us the story of the local boy who had served in the military and how the PGR held the flag high while others protested. In that post I felt your anger against the protesters and how greatful you were for that man from the PGR. I really thank you for giving us more history on this group of great people who really make us think of our freedom and the real meaning of patriotism. This is an awesome tribute, and one everyone should read.

Wow, Monika … What a wonderful thing you have done for the PGR with this post. I will check them out a bit further. Thank you – Mariana

Monika – what an awesome and powerful tribute to those folks who make up the Patriot Guard Riders. I’ve seen them enroute to funerals, and each time I see them, knowing what they’re doing and what they stand for evokes strong emotion within me, as I hope it does everyone else who sees these great people.

It’s so very sad that there is a need for them at all, sickening to think what they have to protect grieving families from, but thankfully they are there, doing what they do. Some of the Patriot Guard Riders also accompanied the wreaths that were delivered to Arlington National Cemetary for the holidays – I saw them ride through Portsmouth on that leg of their journey.

Thank you for sharing this post and for getting the word out about what these fine men and women do – the world needs more people like these PATRIOTIC people.
