The
Nevada
Patriot Guard is the operational arm of the nationwide Patriot Guard movement. Here in Nevada, we concentrate on the
original intent of the Patriot Guard; giving honor to those who paid the ultimate price for freedom. For information on national efforts,
please go to www.patriotguard.org.
The Patriot Guard, being a national phenomenon, is a diverse
effort on the part of many people. We in Nevada,
take great pride in our state motto of being Battle Born. Our primary purpose is to support the families of our fellow Nevadans who have given
the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. We request and expect that
you give us the respect that we will give you.
The Patriot Guard is not a motorcycle club or a social club, and we do not restrict membership to motorcycle riders. Anyone is welcome to join, including all riders regardless of club affiliation. We simply ask that you help us give the proper respect due to our fallen heroes. If you are interested in a riding group that focuses on Veteran causes, please consider
joining the American Legion Riders in your area.
There are many other worthy causes as well, and we in the Patriot Guard encourage everyone to participate in those
as well. Because Nevada has the second highest per
capita population of Veterans in the country, both State Veterans cemeteries need our support. Should you have time
available, we encourage you to support the State Veterans cemeteries in Boulder
City and Fernley.
Plus our troops need support every day in numerous ways. If you would like to do more for Veteran causes than what the Nevada
Patriot Guard offers directly, we highly encourage you to join a service organization with the expertise and infrastructure
in place to do so. Some possibilities are The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Vets, AMVETS, or one of their auxiliary units. There are also many fraternal organizations that
support your local community and veteran organizations as well, including the Elks, Eagles, and Rotary Club.
