Patriot Guard
I am a Veteran of the US Air Force. I will always support the Troops that have volunteered to serve our country. Today I was looking around the Web and stumbled across this great group. Patriot Guard Riders. The reason I like this group is because of what they do. When you deal with most Veteran groups they like their parades and they like their publicity but they also like to provide thier political views and comments. If you are a Veteran in these Organizations and your view is completly different from the majority you can acrually be treated so bad you don’t want to show up to the functions anymore.
This is part of their mission statement:
We don’t care what you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a “hawk” or a “dove”. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your income is. You don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.
This shows you right there that they are there to Support those Members of the Veteran Ranks that deserve Respect.

I never knew about this group either, until last spring, they came roaring through town.. it was the neatest site! I didn’t realize either, it was a neighbor’s grandson they were welcoming! I belive it is the same group that escorted him!
