Patriot Guard Riders

FELLOW PATRIOTS WE HAVE LOST ANOTHER “GREATEST GENERATION”

The PGR has once again been asked to stand for a WW II hero. The family of Mr. William H. Lewis has invited us to stand show honor and respect.

Mr. Lewis served honorably in the U.S. Navy from 1941-1945. Mr. Lewis was a Senior Petty Officer on the US Leyte, CV-32 Support Carrier. Mr. Lewis was an Aviation Machinist Mate and he also flew on B-24’s as a gunner.

Mr. Lewis Sr. has a son that is in the Patriot Guard Rider in Georgia. So please lets support him and his family in this rough time.

SPECIAL NOTE:Safety is of our utmost priority. Every effort possible is made in planning and executing the PGR Mission statement in a manner that minimizes the inherit dangers of riding a motorcycle, including riding in groups of all sizes and any situation. While the NCPG and its riders have a remarkable safety record in the execution of our missions, infrequently members have been injured in unforeseen accidents. In an effort to mitigate the risk of preventable accidents, all attendees who wish to ride in a Patriot Guard motorcycle escort or ride are asked to attend the pre-mission briefing. It will include a safety briefing, and any unique ride information known to our RCIC that may be specific to the mission. Member safety and well-being is always a principal ongoing concern. Our RCIC’s are asked to stand-down from any mission that cannot be accomplished in relative safety or present unreasonable risk. This includes both rides and flag lines in inclement weather and conditions. It remains each individual PGR member’s responsibility to ride within their own comfort zone and be cognizant of their surroundings and skill limitations as well as any physical needs or limitations. If the ride and/or mission conditions present challenges beyond your skill, comfort, or needs you are expected to exercise good judgment in foregoing any planned participation.
