What is the purpose of the Patriot Guard?
The Patriot Guard is a mission with one purpose – to stand guard at funerals of Fallen Heroes to provide a shield between grieving families and protesters. A Fallen Hero is defined as a KIA or Casualty of War of the current wars, and Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters killed in the line of duty. * Please read the Mission Statement on this web site. This is our only mission. If the Patriot Guard is present, a Fallen Hero is being laid to rest. Our motorcycle procession and our presence draw much attention from the public and the media, but always remember – this is not about us. We must strive to remain humble and reverent, keeping in mind the purpose of the mission. This mission is about our Fallen Heroes and their families. We have been invited by the Fallen Hero’s family to attend the funeral as their guests. We must keep our focus on the Fallen Hero and family.
