The Patriot Guard Riders of New York is a group of patriots from across the state. We are also members of the national PGR which collectively numbers 246,000 strong.  The one thing we have in common is an unwavering respect for our servicemen and women and first responders who have given their all in service to America.

Strictly under invitation, we provide motorcycle escorts and stand flag lines.

We don't care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you're a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you're from or what your income is. The only prerequisite is respect for those we serve.

Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives.

1. Show sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.

2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protester or group of protesters.

We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.

The Patriot Guard Riders of New York will participate in activities which honor and show respect for all military members and first response members and their families, past and present.

To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and are praying for a safe return home for all.
