God Bless the PGR and Legion Riders who do their utmost to ensure no veteran goes to their grave alone. Not an issue here but they were present.
PGR is Patriot Guard Riders? Before I sold my last Harley, I joined them and went on a couple of local rides to honor deceased Veterans. It was very moving.
FYI, The group was formed in 2005 to shelter and protect the deceased's family against protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church, who claim that the deaths of American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are divine retribution for American tolerance of homosexuality.
PGR members position themselves to physically shield the mourners from the presence of the Westboro protesters by blocking the protesters from view with their motorcade, or by having members hold American flags. The group also drowns out the protesters' chants by singing patriotic songs or by revving motorcycle engines. All funerals/services were by invitation only by family members.
PGR became national and expanded their scope to include other events involving military and first responders. Last I heard they were having some volunteer problems for road captains and such and might have disbanded.
I proudly have their patch on my motorcycle vest that I no longer have the opportunity to wear.
