Who are the Patriot Guard Riders?

**countybear** · 11-01-07, 01:35 PM

Spinning off of the WBC threads, for those unfamiliar with the Patriot Guard Riders, a few short video introductions to this movement, if you have a moment of time in your busy day, take it to become familiar with those who interrupt their busy lives out of a sense of honor, love, and duty:

These men an women embody the essence of what the REAL Jesus represents in the world today, love for our fellow man and this great nation established on Godly principals, the honor of self-sacrifice, a deep desire for peace -- even at the cost of action -- above all, a reverence and fear of God.

The hatred spewed by activists and seditionists like WBC and Code Pink only serve to bring out the best in the "silent majority." Desecration of all we that we hold sacred spur them into action, and let America know that God still lives in the hearts and minds of the faithful, the honorable, and the loving in this country. He is still in control.

Makes me want to trade my ST in for a Harley and jump in.

That second to the last one made me cry.

Someone with a huge rep please hit him for me, I can't.

It doesn't take a Harley. Look at all the Valkyries, Gold Wings, Royal Stars, and even a couple of R1000's in the processions. I don't usually ride beside riceburners, but I make an exception for anyone who rides with PGR. Their hearts are in the right place, even if their tastes are flawed.

There are no words in the English dictionary that can convey the feeling when you participate in something like this. The feeling that you get and emotions that run through your body. You certainly become one with each other as you honor those that have fallen to make sure that we can all have the freedoms in which we enjoy.

To many of these protesters forget that if it wasn't for the fallen soldiers from present and past wars you wouldn't be able to protest at all. Those that have fallen asked for nothing, but the chance to give back a country that has given them so much. I have to say that I am honored to even be able to give the families some hope in such a heart breaking time.

Whenever you can't go on and feel as though your world is crashing before you. Look around at what is going on in the world. What is happening to our soldiers our loved ones that are so far from home. I know that there are many of us that have friends, family and ourselves may have been over in the sand box. While medically I am unable to serve I will proudly and have proudly stood at attention as our soldiers return from a world that hates us so. Just remember that they came from a world in that sandbox that hates us, don't let them return to us to more people that would hate them as well. Stand up and help them in a time of need.

This is what being an American is all about. Standing strong, Standing proud, and Standing Together.

PGR wants bikes of all kind. And you will usually see a ton of SB's when a soldier that died was involved in the SB community. Come on Come all.

I ride a ninja.

The scum bag preacher Phelps that's been causing most of the trouble at the funerals, got his ass handed to him in court the other day. Close to $11million for protesting at a Marine's funeral.
