Mission Questions

Many emotions and a whole lot of love and support from your new Patriot Guard Riders family.
All missions are posted on the Georgia State Page. Monitor the Georgia National Page. If you supplied an email address when you registered, you will receive email announcements a day or two prior to each mission.
No, just yourself and respect. Each mission has a briefing to explain the requirements of each mission. Arrive at the staging area early and introduce yourself to the Ride Captain In Charge (RCIC). Listen closely to the instructions given by the Ride Captain. Review the flag line guidelines on this site prior to attending your first mission. If you are riding your motorcycle in the escort, pay attention to your riding. This is a very emotional and moving experience, do not become distracted.
Dress respectfully. Many members wear motorcycle attire. Dress appropriately for the weather. Avoid wearing patches on a vest or jacket that are vulgar, express a political view, or might be offensive to others.
Most of us fly 3×5 American flags or smaller on our bikes. Flags are not a requirement on bikes.
When you arrive home please post on the Georgia Forum mission thread on the Georgia Forum that you are home safe.
Most of us get them from independent websites or online stores. The Mounts are all usually home made by the individual or by another member that is handy in that area. Many holders are simply fishing rod holders, to get the best answer ask the individual whose holder you are curious about.
From the PGR Store and independent online websites, for names of some of these sites ask a fellow member.
