Our Mission

The Patriot Guard mission originated in Kansas in 2005. The scope of the Mission was to stand guard at funerals of America’s Fallen Heroes who are killed in action or are casualties of the current wars on terrorism in Afghanistan, Iraq, or any war zone. They also offered this support to law enforcement and firefighters who are killed in the line of duty.  They shielded them from protesters, showing the deepest respect and honor the Fallen Heroes, their families, and their communities.

Today the American Legion Riders, together with like-minded patriots, carry on that directive with the Final Salute Mission. To learn more, or to request Final Salute service, click HERE.

You do not need to ride a motorcycle or be a Military Veteran to support the Patriot Guard Mission.

What It Means to Join the PATRIOT GUARD

“Joining” means you are added to our email list for notification of upcoming Mission announcements, Patriotic activities, and a source for completed mission reports.

Our mission is simple and pure – to Honor Heroes and support their Families.

The Patriot Guard is a “Mission” not a Veterans Service Organization, club, or military unit.

 There are no chapters, meetings, or social events. 

The Patriot Guard is not a business and does not sell merchandise or have a merchandise store. 

We post mission information on this website and email notifications to our members.

Our Vision

We gather as Patriots, we stand guard for the family as PATRIOT GUARD; we leave as Patriots united not in name, but in action and Honor.

We will never forget our purpose in this endeavor of Honor and love to our Heroes and their families. The love and camaraderie of all involved Patriots (Patriots All) will never ebb.

HONOR IS The Mission
