The Patriot Guard Riders
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. They have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security.

It's not necessary if you ride a motocrycle, or what your political views are. It's not a requirement for members to be Veterans. It doesn't matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.

Their main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission undertakes two basic objectives:

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

2) Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.

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



Quilts of Valor Foundation
QOVF provides handmade quilts to comfort our wounded veterans. They have several hundred members nationwide who work on the design and top pieces of the quilts. 



The Silver Star Families of America
An organization which recognizes, remembers and assists the wounded of our armed forces from all wars. They honor and remember our wounded primarily by the presentation of Silver Star Banners and certificates to our wounded and/or their families. It is their wish that every time someone sees a Silver Star Banner in a window or a Silver Star Flag flying, that they remember the blood shed for this great Nation. SSFOA also provides Flags for various military and veteran hospitals, nursing homes, and V.A. hospitals, including combat support hospitals in Iraq.


Veterans of Foreign Wars




Wounded Warriors
An organization which provides support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations.

 



Poem written by Becky Rodenburg,
for a school essay ...






"What Old Glory Means to me"


One flag of three colors,
For all kinds of faces,
A banner of glory,
For all different races.
Laughing under the flag,
On a bright sunny day,
But a tear rolls down
For the soldiers who pay.
Daring young soldiers
Who gave up their lives,
Who gave us our freedom,
Missing families and wives.
Giving us choices,
To live and be free,
Giving us safety,
To let me be me.
Laws for the people,
All over the land,
When someone needs help,
We all lend a hand
Opportunities for me,
For a good education,
Allows for some choices,
Within our great nation
Respect for the colors,
Of Red, White and Blue,
During all of our wars,
Every one of them flew.
Years have gone by,
And we've lived to be free,
All of the people,
With you and with me.
