Hi ,
I just want to thank the Patriot Gaurd Riders for attending and making My fathers burial (Juan Cancino USMC/GySgt Ret) a special event. Having you there was a big part of helping my family cope with our loss knowing he was honored correctly. My father would have felt so proud and special knowing that the Patriot Gaurd Riders honored him and the service he dedicated many years of his life to. With love and respect, I express my sincere gratitude.

Respectfully
Marc Cancino USMC/Sgt Ret.

I want to thank Cleet and all of the dozen men who participated in my husband’s burial service at Georgia National Cemetery on November 26, 2018. Your presence was such a special part of the ceremony, providing additional honor and dignity for my husband. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of you and everything you did to make that day memorable in every good way. God bless you for your selfless service.

Edith R Hart Funeral date 2/14/19

The family of Edith R. Hart would like to thank the Patriot Guard riders for the amazing honor to our mother. Your presence at the funeral home, the escort and at the cemetery was a great comfort to us and reminded us that mom’s family was much bigger than she knew. Thank you for treating our family as your own. With deepest thanks, Ede King, Adrienne Miller and Richard Hart Jr. and families.

SGT Donal W. Bunn

I just wanted to express my appreciation and greatest respects for the Ohio State Patriot Guard Riders that were present for Donnie’s Memorial Service. The patriotism and dedication of the men who were present during Donnie’s service were incredibly professional and devoted to ensuring that Donnie was honored and given the respect that he ultimately deserves! I cannot express in words how appreciative everyone was of these consummate professionals. From family, friends, Veterans and current service members who knew Donnie and were able to attend, everyone was virtually speechless and honored that they could be there! This Veteran highly commends all the men from the Ohio Chapter that were present!Thank You.With much love and respect.Andrew WeistUS. ArmySFC (R)

Ulis C. Steely

It hardly seems that an entire month has passed since we welcomed our fallen hero, Ulis C. Steely home from Pearl Harbor where he was killed in action aboard the Oklahoma in the bombing on that horrific day; December 7, 1941. There are not enough words for myself and my husband, Dean, Ulis’s grandson to express our gratitude to the Patriot Guard Riders.
When Dean and I arrived at Lexington Airport Gate 5 to be led onto the tarmac we could not believe our eyes. The sight of over one hundred bikes and cars lined up waiting for the plane carrying Ulis home was breathtaking. We were both in tears as we rounded the corner and saw the rows of people waiting to welcome Ulis home.
As we got out, we met family members from Corbin for the very first time. There were no strangers in the crowd. Everyone was there for the same reason, and every single soul welcomed us with a handshake or a warm embrace. We were all family.
Riders paid Ulis an unbelievable honor with their escort home from Lexington Airport. Their members posted guard 24/7 watching guard over Ulis overnight while he rested in the Hart Funeral Home awaiting his funeral the following day. The morning of the services, we were led by a full escort with Amazing Grace playing from the rider just behind the hearse as Ulis made his way up the approached to the Church on the Hill. Flags lined the entire length of the long driveway as we made our way along the drive and into the church where his services were held. Again, as we were led to the cemetery, we rounded the corner, and were met with a sea of red, white and blue flags flying in Ulis’s honor. The time and thought that was given into placing each of those flags with care was not over-looked by the grateful family as we pulled up just behind the hearse and watched as the Navy unloaded the titanium hearse out of the rear of the car.
Thank you to the Patriot Guard Riders of Southeast Kentucky, we are forever in your debt. The honor and distinction the men and women displayed as they paid their respects for our grandfather renewed our faith in mankind.
Gary Sweeny out-did himself as the Ride Captain for this mission, and we want to personally thank BT Barnett and his friends who stood watch over Ulis all night long before the funeral, and personally placed all those beautiful flags at the church and the cemetery. We cannot begin to tell each and every one of you who made this such a hero’s welcome home how much the contribution of your time and honor meant to us. We met friends we will cherish the rest of our lives. Thank you to each and every one of you. You all know who you are.

Brandyn Paonessa

On behalf our entire staff here, family and friends we would like to thank each and every patriot guard rider that came out for the services for Sergeant Brandyn Paonessa. The number of patriot guard riders that attended was truly amazing. Thank you for everything you do and your support of America’s hero’s and their families.

Charles Theodore Whitlock

Our family would like to thank the Virginia Patriot Guard District 4 team headed by Jim McGinley for their extremely professional and memorial honor services provided to my father, Charles T. Whitlock, of Henrico, Virginia, on 19 & 20 April 2019. My father had observed the Patriot Guard Riders during a local news feature in the Richmond area just a couple months before his passing. He had mentioned how he’d kind of like to have them be part of his funeral when that time came. I made a note of that and checked out the website for future reference. Jim McGinley and his crew made us feel very, very special and even our relatives visiting from out of state mentioned how impressive they were. Thanks again for standing with us to honor my father and his service to our nation. God Bless You All!

Margarito Hernandez

Thank you all riders who participated last Friday in my fathers burial. If he could see from heaven he was surely smiling and honored. May God Bless you ALL.

Peter Joseph Orlando Service on 7/1/19

Just wanted to thank you so much for attending my husbands funeral on July 1st at the DFW National Cemetery. This meant more that words can express. You guys made it very special. I also want to thank the lady who took pictures (which we did not expect) and posted them through SmugMug. They were absolutely stunning pictures which I will cherish for the rest of my life. Can not thank you enough. Judy Orlando

Kenneth R. Morton

On May 3rd you rode for my husbands funeral. You were fantastic. Your service inspires others to remember and honor our service men and women. The procession you led traveling from the church to the grave side inspired people to get out of their cars in the poring rain and salute as we passed. Ken would have been so proud. You made me feel like he was finally honored for his service in Vietnam. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.Janice Mortonand family

As I walked out of

As I walked out of Kutis funeral home in Affton this morning for my best friends mothers funeral the Patriot Guard Riders were staging to honor a fallen hero. We had a very small group to honor his mother and as we all looked up the Guard was standing shoulder to shoulder paying their respect for someone they didn’t even know or that was even a member of any service.You guys are amazing at what you do not only for our heroes but for any individual!!!Thank You!!!!

Russell Mandziara Funeral

We want to say thank you so much for attending my husband’s funeral. My husband would have been so happy and honored to know that you all where there. You were so very respectful to my husband and family. We appreciate all you do, truly amazing group of men.

Unknown

A big shoutout to the Patriot guard riders I saw today (about 6 of them) traveling on Rt 195 E towards Wareham, MA and then on Rte towards the Cape around 11-11:30 am. My son had a military funeral but it was held at Otis National Cemetary so no one could come to it like the people that harass military funerals held off the base. Please know how much you are appreciated and loved by so many.

Terry Ashbaugh

It has only been a few hours since the service but I cannot express enough how much it meant to me to have you guys there at my grandpa’s funeral. Several people commented about how thoughtful and respectful it was to have you guys there and I truly from the bottom of my heart want to thank each and every one of you. I wish I could send a letter to all of those involved. But once again thank you, it meant the world to me. I know my grandpa was smiling down while he was watching ❤️ And thank you to each of you that have fought and served for our country, I am so thankful for our freedom! God bless!

Jeffery Lee Spencer

I just watched the escort go through the back of the winchester plaza. As a veteran that was both chilling and awe inspiring to see. Keep up the good work helping to honor Kentucky veterans.

Charles Raymond Hall

A great big hug and thank you, for escorting , carrying and presentation. Chuck(Charles) would have been so excited and humbled to have motor cycles riding with him on his final ride. I can never say thank you all enough for this gester and kindness.

Allen Donald Vicznesky

As a new Patriot Guard Rider and Army Veteran, it has been an honor to ride for our Fallen heroes. Last month brought a greater meaning and respect as I was able to ride with my fellow patriots. Amanda Hasselbach was the ride captain for my Hero and Father “Allen Donald Vicznesky”. This was here first mission as Ride Captain.Many friends and family were very impressed on the way the Guard Riders conducted themselves both during the escort and flag line. Eternal thanks to all who were able to ride that day. I will stand with the PGR until the PGR stands for me. “Papa Bear”

CDR Beth E. Patridge, USN, Ret

I cannot thank everyone enough for their service in this mission honoring a long time friend and shipmate. When I contacted PGR I wasn’t sure if there was time enough to make this happen. THEN, on a cold and snowy day, the dedicated group showed up, honored Beth and those who attended her funeral by standing guard both at the funeral home, during the ride to Arlington, and then at Arlington itself. Everyone who attended was both touched and impressed by the care and professionalism of the PGR. I have a picture which I’d like to send…but not sure how to do that. I’m thinking via email to the Captain of the PGR for Virginia? Please advise.PGR will ALWAYS have my utmost respect–everyone who attended could not agree more. Her brother was so touched by their service during this mission. Thank you ALL for YOUR service in this vital way for those who have left us. May your path be blessed and protected…forever.

I just saw “Last Defence”

I just saw “Last Defence” season 1 episode 1 on NRA TV where your group is highlighted for your service to our fallen troops. I just want to say thank you for all your group has done to honor our troops and their families in their time of need. WELL DONE!!!

grant strahle

My husband, Grant Strahle, passed on November 19, 2019. It had been eighteen years since he retired from the Savannah Police Department and forty years since his retirement from the U.S. Army. It was difficult to decide on the type of final service for him. The service was small for the same reasons as stated above. The service though small was very impressive, the patriot guard providing the escort and the police department blocking off all street ramps it was truly a sight to see. Also with the patriot guard people were getting out of their cars and saluting or at least standing at attention.The Army provided the twenty one gun salute with the Chaplain officiating at the grave side. I know my husband would have been really touched by the showing of this respect.
I would like to thank the patriot guard for their service during my husband’s funeral and being there for me and our family.

With Respect, Yvonne Strahle

Brantley Mitchell

My grandson was killed in an auto motorcycle accident in Odessa Tx. He was a very patriotic young man and the Patriot Riders were at his funeral this meant a lot to me and my son who served in Iraq. I am sooty it has taken this long to express my appreciation. Thank you again from a very grateful grandmother and if there is anything I can do please let me know. God Bless All of You

Air Force Colonel Victor D. Rossi

To Ride Captain Dan Parnell,The family of Air Force Colonel Victor D. Rossi wishes to thank you and the entire Patriot Guard Riders for honoring him and escorting his procession to his final resting place at Jefferson Barracks on 04MAR19.

I know Colonel Rossi felt the same pride and honor as did his family and friends.Please know the certificate and written condolences booklet that you presented to me will be kept with pride and handed down to his family, thank you.With eternal gratitude,Mrs. Victor D. Rossi

Veterans Day Open House Event

I’d like to offer my sincere appreciation for your organization’s participation in our Veterans Day Open House held on Friday, November 8, 2019. The Residents, staff and visitors appreciated the Patriot Guard Riders, who added dignity and respect to the event. Thank you for assisting in making the event such a huge success!

Our staff does a tremendous job providing various events and activities for our Residents, but the Veterans are most grateful for the visits and time spent with them.

We are proud to serve our Residents and greatly appreciate those that recognize their service to our country. As former U.S. Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen once said, “Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.” Thank you again for your kindness, support, and dedication to our Veterans.

Joseph Peinkofer

The sight of the Patriot Guard at my dad’s funeral October 22nd was the most touching moment. My dad was a proud Veteran and we are very proud of him. My family including my mom wants to thank each and every Veteran that honored my dad and our country. I will never forget it.
It has been my pleasure to be a nurse at our local VA for over 25 years and my gratitude for your generosity of time and respect could never be repaid.
Sincerely. The Peinkofer Family

Cindy Livingston

I just wanted to Thank the St Louis Metro PGR for their support of our mission to bring our Sister Cindy back to Springfield MO. It was an honor.

Claude Whitford Chavis, Jr. 02/02/2019

My local contact person was Tommy Jones who was of the greatest help in getting everything set up. The location was in an extremely rural area of South Carolina and we weren’t sure how this would turn out. The services that the Patriot Guard provide is not well known in the area so we were not sure how many would show. Everything went great and my nieces were very thankful for the honor they bestowed on their father and my brother. Thank you so much for making a difficult day a blessing.

Theresa Chavis Edwards

Richard Weidmann

I was moved to see the efforts of those who rode with me for the escort to Riverside this past Friday, 10 May. As I may have mentioned, I’ve been honored to ride more than a few missions with the PGR since I joined in 2007, but this one was special as the Hero being escorted was my mentor as a young man.Ray (T-Bone), Greywolf, and all who showed up (we rode with 7 and a trailing cage) were considerate and thoughtful in word and deed. The family and I feel truly blessed to have had such professionalism shine in what looked to be a very wet and cloudy ride!Yes, it did sprinkle a bit on the ride from Hemet, but I’d refer you to GreyWolf for the blessing he shared at the staging before we left to escort the family of our Hero…All in all, it was was a memorable day, made even better with Old Glory leading the way.Again, many thanks for your part!Dallas

Sgt. Adam C. Blunck

I was able to shake the hands of all the riders that made the flag line at my brother’s funeral and thank them in person but I wanted to contact this organization as well. Thank you for all you do–the mission may have changed but you’re needed now more than ever.

Thank you again for your presence and your care during the flag lines and my brother’s interment in Adel.

God Bless,

Nathan Blunck

Edgar David Gross KIA Pearl Harbor, Veteran

The words “Thank you” are not enough for the honor and respect you all showed for our Uncle Ed!! What you did for us was beyond measure! The most beautiful sight was seeing your Patriot Guard carrying the large flags, walking up the road ahead of the caisson caring Uncle Ed’s casket. One in the guard was in a wheel chair, which showed his true dedication! That was indeed the most honorable and respectful burial service that I have ever seen! Memorial Day 2019 will be remembered and retold forever by all who attended. Thank you again from myself and all of the Edgar David Gross Family!

Sincerely,
Margaret Gross New

Ernesto Duron

Dear Patriot Guard,

On behalf of my family I would like to thank you for your attention and thoughtful efforts during my father’s funeral service. My father, Corporal Duron served our nation during the Korean conflict with Company B, 759th Military Police Battalion in occupied Germany. A feeling of patriotic pride filled our hearts as you selflessly lifted our hearts during the service in addition to providing service to our great nation. Thank you.

Send off of Illinois Army from Chicago

I would like to thank you for the wonderful escort that you had given to the 400 soldiers that left out of Chicago headed to Peoria in which you gave them an escort all the way. My son in law was on that bus. He sent videos to his pregnant wife which is a veteran herself knowing that you all made sure he had a safe journey and a great escort to Peoria eased our minds. It is so hard writing this knowing that he will soon be traveling overseas to a war zone. But knowing there is people like all of you out there who gave him the best day by the wonderful escort is all we need to know this will be ok and he will come home safely. So from the bottom of my heart, my daughters and my grand daughters thank you so much. You all have done great work. Not only with this escort but back in 2006 my son lost a very close friend in Iraq and you all were there.

MG Bill C. Branson

We appreciate the support shown, and kind words of condolences offered, to our family during our time of sorrow.
Bill was fortunate to have two careers he loved, and even more fortunate to meet so many wonderful people through both of them.
Bill was a true patriot and greatly respected your organization and its mission. He was very proud of the Patriot Guard, and it’s participation in numerous burials for our homeless veterans.
Thank you for giving him a “Patriot Guard” send off.
Sincerely,
Juanita Branson and Family

Wayne G Baker

The Baker family wishes to extend our deepest gratitude to the Patriot Guard Riders for their support during the Memorial Service to honor and remember PFC Wayne Glen Baker’s sacrifice. My family was overwhelmed by the support and kindness exhibited by all members of the PGR. The flag display was especially touching and it reminded my family that Wayne’s sacrifice counted for something very dear… Freedom!! Thank you Boise riders and special thanks to Coeur d’ Alene riders Mary Matthews and Pam Moist for all you did. We were truly blessed.

Donald McCormick

My family and I were so humbled by the honor and respect the men of the PGR showed our family and my father at his funeral at the church and his interment at Biloxi National Cemetery. The men stood with respect at the entrance of the church and the escort to the interment was extremely impressive. What an honor to meet these wonderful men who volunteer their time to show support to the families and honor the men and women who served their country as they are laid to rest. Thank you is not enough but we thank you with all our hearts! The McCormick Family

Randy DeBerry

It was an honor to see you at the services for Randy DeBerry. Randy is my aunt’s nephew and he and my husband served in the 201st in WV. They weren’t there at the same time, but shared their battles in many conversations.There isn’t enough thank you’s out there for doing what you do.

Harold P. Schwerdt

It is with deep gratitude to write you. Your presence at Harold Schwerdt’s wake and funeral, your respect and honor – touched my family.

He was a true patriot, and it was wonderful to see such support.

Graciously,

the Family of Harold P. Schwerdt

Algie Mabone – Somerville, TN

I tried my best to express my sincerest gratitude for to the PGR during their Tennessee Mission to big ole Fayette County, TN as they paid their respects to my Granddaddy Algie Mabone; who served in World War II, in the 92nd Infantry Division also known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

Throughout the course of 2 days everyone was SO kind, not only to the Mabone family but also to ALL of the extended family that came to share in the services for Granddaddy! I heard them sharing stories with each other, inviting the children who were there to hold the flags in honor and not once complaining about the sun that beamed throughout the day.

Thank you for making sure everything went smoothly!

I truly thank EACH OF YOU from the bottom of my humble heart not only for your service to the Mabone family but for your service and sacrifice for for our country!

Katia

Brigadier General (Ret) Donald Ray Crutcher

The family would like to express our sincere thank you and appreciation to the Patriot Guard volunteers. Thank you to those who attended the visitation, who stood guard at the door with the flags at the visitation as well as those who rode their motorcycles to lead the procession on a very cold afternoon. My father-in-law would have been humbled by the attention as he always told us, “don’t make a fuss over me when I die.” This is a wonderful group of volunteers. Thank you again.

davidmcgillsr

Thank you for helping me bury my husband by escorting him to his grave. I think of you and say a prayer for all of you often. Thank you all.

Tommy McBrides Service

Saturday May 4th we said farewell to my uncle, Staff Sgt Tommy McBride 97, Army Air Corp, WWII. We were greatly blessed to have the PGR stand for Tommy. These kind members were also his pall bearers as I thought it more appropriate to have those who really understand. I do this instead of funeral home staff. The turnout of PGR members that day was amazing. The Guards presence from his arrival at church, escort to cemetery, pall bearers and how on each side they stood in solemn respect. Uncle Tommy would’ve hated the fuss – he always thought someone else was more deserving than he – he would’ve absolutely loved the PGR being with us that day. As a PGR member, I’d never been on the family side. It’s always a privilege to stand for those who gave so much for so many. Thank you all for helping to give Thomas J McBride a very appropriate Send off. Roger & Out “MAC”

Louis J VanderPlaats

On behalf of my family, please accept our sincere thanks to those who stood the flag line and paid respects to our father, Daniel T. Seip, Jr., on Saturday, January 26.

Thank you for standing the flag line and for your service to our great nation.

Adam Zani

I would like to thank all of the Cicero, NY, Patriot Guard Riders for honoring my son, HM1 (FMF) Adam Zani on this past Saturday. I thank you all for your service as well as standing out in the rain, presenting me with a plaque to honor Adam and for your thoughtfulness in doing this for Adam.

PFC Beverly A. Goodman

I want to thank the Patriot Guards that rode with me to take my wife’s Urn to The Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery in Glennville, Georgia from my home in Hinesville. Georgia. It was on 07 December 2018. We had more motorcycles than cars thanks to the Guard and the sport riders of my son’s. The Guard took us through the back roads to Glennville, Beverly always loved the country. We grew up in the country, not the city. The Guard where professionals and did everything correctly. I wanted to thank them but they had left before I was able to. If you could send them my deep-hearted thanks for a job well done. I salute you all. SSG(r) Harold W. Goodman

Quentin G Oleson

Thanks so much for all you did to make Dad’s funeral services so special. As we talked, Dad was one of those “I just . . .”, non-combat veterans who for a long time wasn’t as proud of his service as he should have been. He would have been so proud and thankful for the tribute you gave him. Also, special thanks and appreciation to the riders who unfortunately had to deal with the unexpected gravel detours down to Scotland.

Ronald Charchenko

My family, along with myself would like to express our gratitude for your presence at my father’s funeral. It was such a wonderful sight and tribute to him. We received many compliments on your attendance. Once again, thank you for your time and service.

Dear Patriot Guard Riders:

On behalf of the Chapel in the Hills, we wish to thank you once again for your participation in this year’s Memorial Day service at the Chapel in the Hills. Your avenue of flags and color guard added so much to the service—and your flexibility to move indoors because of the persistent rain was admirable. We appreciate it very much.

Should we hold this service again next Memorial Day, we certainly hope that you will consider participating as usual.

Sincerely yours,

Brian Kringen, Managing Director
Chapel in the Hills

I would like to personally thank each and every single one of the Patriot Guard Riders who stood guard honoring my grandfather, Colin Doig. He loved his country and bled red, white, and blue.

Thank you all so much for being there…..it means so much to us all. (Especially my 3 year old son who was running around wearing his Great Papa’s WWII Veteran hat….he is still talking about the motorcycles and shaking all of your hands!)

William Randall – My Father

Mike,
This is Gary Randall. The son of William Randall. We met yesterday at my father’s funeral. I cannot begin to tell you how much you and the Patriot Guard Riders mean to me and my family. Your presence at my Dads funeral was outstanding. The way you honor my Mother as she walked into the funeral home was beyond words. Then escorting us out to the gravesite and standing there in the hot sun with your men, was truly one of the greatest honors I have ever witnessed. When the funeral home told us yesterday morning that they had not heard from the US Air Force Honor Guard, we were crushed. We could not believe that a man who served his county for 27 years and fought in 2 wars was not going to be honored in the way he should have been, my mother and our family were devastated. Then to get a phone call from the funeral home telling us that you and the Patriot Guard Riders were going to do my dad’s honors, our burden was lifted. I can’t tell you how relieved our family was. Mike, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you and your team. My family and I will be forever grateful for what you did. My Dad was honored and we say THANK YOU and May GOD Bless the Patriot Guard Riders.

Mike, please pass this on to each and every hero that was out there yesterday honoring my Father and our family.

Again, thank you so much

Gary Randall

Kenneth Mac Caraway

I want to thank Beth, our mission coordinator, Billy Morgan, our Ride Captain, and the Patriot Guard Riders from Apple Valley, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, California for honoring my brother-in-law at his escort and interment in Bakersfield National Cemetery. I have ridden many missions with the PGR and all are accomplished with great respect and love for the families involved. In this instance, the Caraway family simply could not stop talking about the PGR, their love for Country, the respect demonstrated at the interment, their professionalism and the outpouring of love they provided to our entire family. I am confident my brother in law was looking down from Heaven and would want all to know he is most proud of the riders, the sacrifice they made in some very hot weather, the honor provided to him, and the love and compassion demonstrated to my sister and family. May God Bless all of you and watch over you on every mission. You are doing God’s work on every mission. Semper Fi PGR!!!!

He would have had a smile a mile wide to have seen each of you standing there today.
On behalf of his family, our sincere appreciation for being there today and for all that you do.

On October 29, 2018 as we pulled into the cemetary to put Ed in his final resting place with his wife of 71 years, there they were…Guarding Ed and Marge’s crypt. Proudly and respectfully holding their flags. I immediately broke down in tears as finally, Ed was being honored like we all knew that he should. Thank you so much to Captain Vito, his team of riders and the entire Patriot Guard Riders Volunteer group. Your presence on our day of sorrow made all of the difference in the world! I know that Ed was saluting you all from heaven and smiling down on you! God Bless You All!!

Today in Government class we got into a discussion and learned of the Westboro Baptist Church and their protesting at the funerals of our fallen heroes. I was disgusted, then we learned of the patriot riders. My emotions almost overtook me in the gratefulness and love I have for each and every rider.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart I thank you so very much.

Harlan Johnson

Driving west on a Thursday evening could have been slow, so I drove the backroads the entire way from Shakopee to St Michael tonight. It was a beautiful evening for a drive through the country. In the small town of Fletcher, I saw a group of Patriot Guard Riders on their Harleys as they approached the four-way stop sign ? from my right. I motioned all of them through as they approached turning left, while giving them waves and thumbs up. Then I heard one fella say loudly, “SHE knows!” Honestly, I recognized a couple of the riders from my husband‘s (Harlan Johnson) funeral!! Then I started to cry! Happy tears! It was a great day! Thanks for making it special by crossing my path today – and for being at my husband’s funeral on 6/7/14. I hope you all feel huge appreciation for being there for the soldier and their family. I know Harlan was very proud of his 33 years of service and your utmost respect for him was so very special. Now I get emotional when I hear about or see the Riders, as I know another soldier, widow and family is going to experience your support and warm presence!! ????

The flags flying from the motorcycles made us feel so proud of the life and service of my Grandfather. I did not know about the PGR service until my uncle told us of it, I am so glad he did. Thank you so much for what you do, it means more than you can ever know. We will be leaving a donation for your organization to show our gratitude.
Thank you so much!

Funeral service for father on Nov. 16, 2018

My name is Jeanelle Cesena and I believe your riders provided service at my father’s funeral at St. Mark’s Catholic parish in Independence, MO on November 16, 2018. My father, Roy J. Mitchell was a Korean vet and my family was very grateful for the service at the burial service. I failed to ask several of the riders for their contact information but it appears your riders may have assisted at my father’s service. And if so, I am very grateful for your service in supporting my mother during a difficult time. Thank you and God bless you all.
Peace,
Jeanelle Cesena

Therese Ann Henrion

Thank you and all who rode in honor of my wife on Saturday 23, at St Mark Catholic Church, Norman OK. I had many comments on your professionalism and dedication to those hero’s who have taken their final ride. I wish I had taken down the names of all the riders who escorted my wife on that final day so I could personally thank them. I tried to meet as many as I could that morning however, events kind of over took me and I missed that opportunity. My family read aloud the notes left in the back of the framed Patriot Rider Invocation. God Bless you one and all for all that you do for our hero’s.

Major Gerald French USAF Ret

Having the PGR escort our father and stand for him at his final service was the most amazing and touching event in our lives.

Your organization and it’s members can call on this family and know we will be at your aide and on your side for any one of you.

It was breathtaking to witness and humbling to see so many men and women give their time to honor my Dad. Many, many thanks from my family.

It was an extremely cold day as we laid my Father to rest and to have you all there to pay your respects was very beautiful and was very much appreciated.

Robert Lundberg funeral 9/22/18

On behalf of my family I would like to thank Lenny for attending my dad’s funeral in Eaton Rapids, Mi on 9/22/18. Pulling into the funeral home and seeing the flags was beyond moving. Having Lenny at the door to greet and watch over us was incredibly comforting. When he made the plaque presentation to my Mom there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Your organization is amazing and made a painful day a little more tolerable. On behalf of the family of Robert Lundberg, I thank you all.

Warmest Regards,
Raquel Johnson

Your involvement in his celebration of life was both honorable and special as he considered his years of military service to be the most memorable years of his life. I cannot remember the name of the leader of your group but I especially would like to offer you my personal appreciation. Thanks so much to all of you. Jeanne Kruger

SMSgt. Phillip Pienta Ret.

Back in February, I invited the PGR to my father’s funeral in Niceville, Fl. I have ridden many a mission with the PGR prior. I know it is our honor as members to ride. But know that I am grateful and thankful from the bottom of my heart to have the support of my fellow members. Nothing takes away the loss or the pain, but your presence makes it more bearable.

With respect, thanks and admiration,

David Pienta

Demax P. Dewees

My dad, Demax Dewees, age 91 was laid to rest yesterday. We invited the PGR to attend just two days before, and didn’t think they’d be able to attend on such short notice. We were wrong. They started showing up outside the chapel just before the service. When we exited the chapel, a flag line was waiting for my dad outside. My family was overwhelmed by the love we were shown by these men and women, VOLUNTEERS- who had been complete strangers to us. The number of guards actually outnumbered the funeral attendees.The only way I can describe the experience is to say “taken care of”. The moment they arrived, they sort of took over, in the best possible way. From organizing the drive to the cemetery, receiving us there, and the honor and respect they showed for my dad- truly overwhelming. The PGRs mission is to honor our country’s veterans, and they did so, beautifully. But they did so much more than that. Years from now, when I think back to the day we buried my dad, I won’t remember the sadness. I will remember the love shown to my family, and respect they showed for my dad, my hero. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Patriot Guard Riders.

Funeral of Sergeant Major A.G. Wright (Ret.)

Dear Patriot Riders,
It is with sincere gratitude that I express my deep appreciation for your presence and motorcycle escort at my father’s funeral (Sergeant Major A.G. Wright, Ret.) on 19 June 2018 in Sarasota, Florida.

The Patriots contributed beautifully to the ceremony at the National Cemetery by individually saluting my father’s casket and forming a flag line for me to escort my mother through upon completion.

I received many compliments from family and friends about how touching their tribute was, and the entire Wright family is collectively grateful.

Please know that you have my personal gratitude in providing the Sergeant Major a proper and fitting tribute to his service to our Corps and Nation.
Semper Fidelis,
J.A. Wright (Son)

Sgt Eugene Mc Bride

It is with heartfelt gratitude that the family of Sgt Eugene McBride offers thanks for the Patriot Guard’s presence before and during the funeral of our brother/uncle. After 73 years, this fallen soldier was brought home and buried without incident. The respect, dignity, protection during extreme cold and windy weather was greatly appreciated. There is nothing more moving than a military funeral and in this case, no one from the military knew Gene. Although gone 73 years, his family in arms came out to say goodbye and honor his service. God Bless the Patriot Guards, the military, and our country!

Charles JL Gallegos

What you do is truly amazing and well respected. I could not be more happy to send him off without you’re support.

Curtis James Stewart

We would like to thank you so much for your services today at my Grandfather’s funeral. My Grandfather served in the Navy and it was a huge part of his life. I do not know the names of the riders that led our procession today, but I can’t tell you how much we appreciate what they did. The flags flying from the motorcycles made us feel so proud of the life and service of my Grandfather. I did not know about the PGR service until my uncle told us of it, I am so glad he did. Thank you so much for what you do, it means more than you can ever know. We will be leaving a donation for your organization to show our gratitude.
Thank you so much!

Harlan Johnson

Driving west on a Thursday evening could have been slow, so I drove the backroads the entire way from Shakopee to St Michael tonight. It was a beautiful evening for a drive through the country. In the small town of Fletcher, I saw a group of Patriot Guard Riders on their Harleys as they approached the four-way stop sign ? from my right. I motioned all of them through as they approached turning left, while giving them waves and thumbs up. Then I heard one fella say loudly, “SHE knows!” Honestly, I recognized a couple of the riders from my husband‘s (Harlan Johnson) funeral!! Then I started to cry! Happy tears! It was a great day! Thanks for making it special by crossing my path today – and for being at my husband’s funeral on 6/7/14. I hope you all feel huge appreciation for being there for the soldier and their family. I know Harlan was very proud of his 33 years of service and your utmost respect for him was so very special. Now I get emotional when I hear about or see the Riders, as I know another soldier, widow and family is going to experience your support and warm presence!! ????

I can never “Thank” the 18 riders that attended my husbands burial service at the Bagdad Cemetery on Saturday October 27,2018. May God bless you all ! Your presence was a great honor to my husband and the family. I am so proud of his 20 years service in the United States Air Force. You beautiful people and the team from Lackland AFB made our whole day filled with love and pride a little more bearable. Again “Thanks to you all”

Demax P. Dewees

My dad, Demax Dewees, age 91 was laid to rest yesterday. We invited the PGR to attend just two days before, and didn’t think they’d be able to attend on such short notice. We were wrong. They started showing up outside the chapel just before the service. When we exited the chapel, a flag line was waiting for my dad outside. My family was overwhelmed by the love we were shown by these men and women, VOLUNTEERS- who had been complete strangers to us. The number of guards actually outnumbered the funeral attendees.The only way I can describe the experience is to say “taken care of”. The moment they arrived, they sort of took over, in the best possible way. From organizing the drive to the cemetery, receiving us there, and the honor and respect they showed for my dad- truly overwhelming. The PGRs mission is to honor our country’s veterans, and they did so, beautifully. But they did so much more than that. Years from now, when I think back to the day we buried my dad, I won’t remember the sadness. I will remember the love shown to my family, and respect they showed for my dad, my hero. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Patriot Guard Riders.

My husband passed away on Memorial Day. He was a 20-year veteran of the Navy. Your group attended his funeral in Georgetown, Texas and burial in Pflugerville, Texas, June 1. It was a glorious sight to see all the flags, the riders, and the honor you brought on my loved one. Thank you for this service. It added a lot to his services, and I really appreciate it.

Karl Kruger

I want to extend my appreciation to the Patriot Guard members who rode their motorcycles and lead the funeral procession of my husband Karl Kruger on February 4, 2018, to the Veterans Cemetary. Your involvement in his celebration of life was both honorable and special as he considered his years of military service to be the most memorable years of his life. I cannot remember the name of the leader of your group but I especially would like to offer you my personal appreciation. Thanks so much to all of you. Jeanne Kruger

I wanted to take the time to thank all of you for attending my father’s service. It truly was an honor to have you there and it made the day special. My dad was a very proud Army veteran, he wore his dog tags with honor til the day he passed. It would have made him truly happy to know that he had a service with full military honors. He now stands down and leaves you to take the watch. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

SMSgt. Phillip Pienta Ret.

Back in February, I invited the PGR to my father’s funeral in Niceville, Fl. I have ridden many a mission with the PGR prior. I know it is our honor as members to ride. But know that I am grateful and thankful from the bottom of my heart to have the support of my fellow members. Nothing takes away the loss or the pain, but your presence makes it more bearable.

With respect, thanks and admiration,

Thank you so much for bringing the Flags to my husband’s funeral. It meant a lot to me. They were Beautiful.

Therese Ann Henrion

Thank you and all who rode in honor of my wife on Saturday 23, at St Mark Catholic Church, Norman OK. I had many comments on your professionalism and dedication to those hero’s who have taken their final ride. I wish I had taken down the names of all the riders who escorted my wife on that final day so I could personally thank them. I tried to meet as many as I could that morning however, events kind of over took me and I missed that opportunity. My family read aloud the notes left in the back of the framed Patriot Rider Invocation. God Bless you one and all for all that you do for our hero’s.

LCpl Chase Smith

I wanted to personally thank each of you on behalf of the Smith Family in Childersburg, AL. You will never know how much you mean to our family. The support you showed on September 10 to our Marine was incredible. We appreciate the dedication you have to our country. LCpl Chase Smith was only 24 years old and will be deeply missed. Each of you helped us celebrate his life in the most amazing way. We cannot make you understand how much we appreciate each of you. We will pray that God blesses you and your family the same way you blessed our family. Thank you again for your support in this tragic event.

Charles Walker

It was an extremely cold day as we laid my Father to rest and to have you all there to pay your respects was very beautiful and was very much appreciated.

You helped honor my father and I cannot thank you enough. So many men were there and it was, quite frankly, overwhelming. Thank you for what you did for him and what you do for veterans everywhere.

Sincerely, The Family of Sgt William D Ritchie.

Andrew Gale Thomson

Having the PGR escort our father and stand for him at his final service was the most amazing and touching event in our lives. I can’t begin to thank the members for their quick response on such short notice and their reverent and honorable manner that each one displayed will never be forgotten. Your organization and it’s members can call on this family and know we will be at your aide and on your side for any one of you.
Anytime, Anyplace.

Hello,
The Riders came to my dad’s services at Fort Bliss National Cemetery and I wanted to thank each and everyone of the riders for attending and honoring him. It was so touching and I know my dad was smiling in heaven. The service you provide cannot be matched by any organization. Our family cannot say thank you enough.

Much love,

Timothy James Wineland

Thank you so much to the PGR who stood for my friend today. To Rich Vernon, Ride Captain, a very special thank you for putting this together on such short notice. It is always so touching to see the PGR especially knowing that this is truly a mission of the heart. Tim was one of the most patriotic Americans that I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and was so honored/proud to have served his country. He would have had a smile a mile wide to have seen each of you standing there today.
On behalf of his family, our sincere appreciation for being there today and for all that you do.
Ride safe.
