The Patriot Guard Riders of New York, Inc. is a non-profit New York corporation organized exclusively for charitable and community service purposes. We are affiliated with the Patriot Guard Riders, a national organization. Members of the Patriot Guard Riders of New York, Inc. are members of the Patriot Guard Riders national organization.

We are a diverse group of patriots who come together to show support to US service members, veterans, and their families.

We do not have meetings, dues or most of the things that other organizations have. The only thing we all have in common is a deep feeling of appreciation of the sacrifices that our military and first responders make. Many also share a love of motorcycles and many are also veterans (but neither is a requirement).

We are a 100% volunteer organization. Donations go directly to the veterans in the form of a plaque to the family or assistance to those vets in need through our "Help On The Homefront" (HOTH) program.

Mission Statement

The Patriot Guard Riders of New York is a group of patriots from across the state. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for America's freedom and security.

We don't care what you ride or if you a 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.

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 families of the military members, past and present. This may include financial assistance which these military and veteran military families may need.

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.
