The Patriot Guard Riders were created by the American Legion Riders in 2005 as a separate entity, formed as a communication & leadership organization. YOU ARE THE PGR. This separation allows ALL RIDERS, regardless of their other affiliations to Ride under PGR leadership teams without jeopardizing their status with their clubs or organizations. The PGR is not a social club, riding club or Motorcycle Club. The PGR does not do social events. We do not exist unless we are on a PGR led Mission. We never create a Mission unless we are invited by the appropriate people. Considering safety, logistics and the clear, obvious benefits of single source command, ALL RIDERS are encouraged to Ride under the PGR leadership. When REQUESTING the PGR you are requesting ALL RIDERS of ALL groups & ALL non-affiliated riders.
