Gotcha. Good deal. I wonder if the family has requested them? I thought they only went if they were asked?

They did and we do.

They did and we do.

I'm not a member of the Patriot Guard. Can I still ride in and help out?

Have rode with the PGR and stood a flag line a few times. All veterans and regardless of how they dress provide an impressive and moving presence. They provided an amazing flag line and bugler at my father's (Tsgt, USAF (Ret) burial in Canton three years ago.

They are always welcome and appreciated.

I got my hippie "work" gloves ready to go

Granted they are meant for punching hippies but i think they will do.just fibe on these scumbags

Seriously though, this is how these bastards make a living. They incite stuff then sue when they get punched

You are 100% correct. In fact most are actually lawyers. Freaking leeches will burn in Hell for their actions.

Absolutely. The only real requirement is to show up at event with the intent of respectfully honoring a fallen hero. That's it.

The protest stuff generally isn't as big as it's purported to be, at least in my experience. IF they even show up, the PGR stands a silent flag line providing a barrier between the idiots and the family. Calm heads prevail here. In the event someone does get a little loud, a few well timed engine revs do wonders to silence it.

How would they know who to sue? Just knock him out and ride off. Just like college..

I would like to attend this tomorrow but I wasn't in the service. What's the dress code if you don't have leathers, etc.?

That's not what the PGR does. We're there for the family, to show respect for their sacrifice, and in the event of a protest, shield the family from it with the flag line.

Whatever you'd normally ride in is acceptable. I don't wear a cut, etc. I'll be in jeans, boots, and a PGR t shirt.
