Patriot Guard Riders

I've been riding with the Patriot Guard for two years, 2008 will be my third year. I have proudly served on four missions.

If you do not know what or who the Patriot Guard is, read their website. http://www.patriotguard.org

A few years ago someone on the PGR site posted this.

No, Never Again.

But still I hear you say "Why does it matter to you?" "They aren't your friends, your brothers, your sisters, your father, your mother." War is a sad time for many; it is sad but true. So, why do you gather in the gap between their families and their foes? The answer is simple: "Because, Never Again!"

Never again will grieving parents, families and friends alone bear mourning's toil. Never again will hard-won freedom of speech be used to debase and destroy. Never again will their sacrifice be dishonored upon their home soil. No, Never Again.

Why do we gather, why do we ride? Why travel this country far and wide? We remember our grandfathers, fathers, brothers and others yet to come. We stand proud through tears reflecting their courage and pride. Because, Never Again.

That's why we ride.
