How to become a member of the Patriot Guard Riders
We receive questions about how someone can become a member of the Patriot Guard Riders. To become a member one should register on the National PGR web site. It is very simple to register, but sometimes people have difficulty finding the link on the National PGR web site.
To make it easier for anyone who wants to join, just click on this link:
http://www.patriotguard.org/Home/tabid/53/ctl/Register/Default.aspx
Once registration is completed on the National PGR web site go to the Kentucky Forums page to see what is going on, or has gone on with the PGR, in Kentucky.
This link will take you directly to the Kentucky Forums page: http://www.patriotguard.org/ALLForums/tabid/61/view/topics/forumid/84/Default.aspx
On the Kentucky Forums page one will see, "New Members check in here." Please go into that forum and post a message to let us know you've joined. Usually new members see follow-up posts from existing members welcoming them to the PGR, and most often a new member will also receive a personal message from the Kentucky Captains. Even if you've been a member for a while but haven't posted in the New Members forum go there now to let everyone know about you. Yes, even if you've already attended PGR missions please do that if you haven't done it before.
We hope this makes the process of joining the Patriot Guard Riders an easier task and helps you to let other Kentucky members know you've joined. It also should prove to be very helpful to new members to read the Kentucky Forums. There is a lot of helpful information for new members, and even veteran members, in some of those forums.
PGROFKY.COM Web Site Purpose
PGR members in Kentucky had expressed concern that they often have problems finding and tracking mission itinerary information on the nationally affiliated Patriot Guard Riders web site.

There also are occasional news items of interest to PGR members in Kentucky posted on the Announcements page.

Patriot Guard Riders Mission Statement
The Patriot Guard riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common, besides motorcycles. We have an unsavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America's freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.
We don't care what you ride or if 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.
Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives:
1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.
To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.
