I’m a Patriot Guard Rider also but have only been able to participate in a half dozen honor rides. I have to juggle work, single parent, and home with honoring my fellow veterans. Riding in honor of veterans is an honor and privilege. We do rides in groups on weekends and swap war stories.
I am retired and have no kids. So paying tribute to our veterans both past and present is the best way I know to spend my time. Ride safe!
