How many of you know something about them? I think we all know what they do; they attend funerals of veterans at the request of the family for various reasons. They essentially started because of a group of anti-homosexual protesters from a Topeka, Kansas church called The Westboro Baptist Church. The church was protesting veterans funerals because they say God is punishing America because of it’s tolerance of homosexuals. The PGR essentially runs interference at the funeral to keep the protesters away from the family. They also see troops off to battle and perform various other activities to honor our veterans. You can read a little about their history over on the website at www.patriotguard.org. I guess the reason I am bringing this up is because I will be back in the states in July and I am hoping to become involved with the group and I encourage any other biker out there to show their support in honoring our American Heroes. That is the least we can do for those that go into harms way in support of America and sometimes make the ultimate sacrifice. Go ahead and get involved for a good cause.
