Mission Statement

The Patriot Guard Riders mission has two objectives:

  1.  Show respect and honor to our fallen heroes of current wars and operations, and support their families and communities, by attending funeral services as invited guests of the family.

  2.  The Patriot Guard Riders will provide this support and respect in a professional manner, upholding the Laws of California and other states, and will participate in a non-violent manner.

The Patriot Guard Riders mission is to stand guard at funerals of our Fallen Soldiers of current wars and operations who were killed in action or are casualties of war.

The mission is supported by many motorcycle organizations and non-rider individuals who share one common goal: we all have tremendous respect for those who risk their lives every day, whether on American soil or abroad, in securing our nation's freedoms and liberties. 

We encourage those who share this respect to join us.

You do not have to ride a motorcycle or be a veteran to support the Patriot Guard Riders mission.
