Douglas Abbittt

Dear Bill,
it is I who must be thankful to you and all the others for being there to support the honor bestowed on Doug. He was loyal to his country in risking his life in Viet Nam for our freedom. I know he was very honored to have been recognized for his bravery and dedication. There are no words that describe my gratitude to all who participated! May God continue to inspire and bless you in your journey of sharing His goodness and love for all of us!

Mark this is Carey Loyds brother Mike. We were so grateful and honored to have y’all there today and we were so impressed with the proffessional behavior from all of your crew. It made his sendoff easier for all of us. My dad made a cash donation and I just got through matching it on the website. Thank y’all so much for what y’all do.

Please thank all of your crew for us. My brother would be so proud of this ceremony we had today thanks to y’all. We are proud of him and y’all.
Thank all of y’all for your service to our country.

SMSGT Carson Leslie Dibble

I want to sincerely thank the many PGR riders that provided the military honors with US flags on January 16, 2023, to the funeral of SMSGT Carson Leslie Dibble at his visitation and memorial service at the Lucas Funeral Home in Hurst, Texas, followed by escort to the Smithfield Cemetery along with US Flags and standing at attention during the urnment ceremony with full military honors by the USAF.

It is particularly noted that so many riders attended and each entered the memorial service and each solemnly saluted SMSGT Dibbles remains and presented a certificate of honor to his wife as well as standing guard outside.

His family, that are very long time personal friends of ours, and are related to my daughter Cindy by marriage, very much appreciated the PGR members dedication and respectful performances to honor SMSGT Dibble and his wife and family for his dedicated USAF service of 22 years in Viet Nam and many other bases.

The services of the Patriot Guard Riders provided to military families, to show honor for their family member’s dedicated services to the defense of the United States, are invaluable for the support and recognition of their families at a time of sorrow and loss.

Please extend the Dibble family’s and my family’s appreciation, to Ride Captain Mike Moore and all the riders for a service well done with honor and pride for our country’s veterans.

With deep appreciation,
Lt. Colonel Charles E. Andrle, USAF (retired)

Tears in my eyes, as I write this. Your group has given us memories we otherwise would not have had. Nick truly got a farewell that reminded us of how honorable he was. May God abundantly bless each member of your group and meet all your varied needs as well as all the many families you support. These pictures and videos are phenomenal.
Grateful,
Joan, Shel & the entire family

Hi Mr. Little & Mr. Metzger,
Thank you and your team for the amazing honor of being part of my Dad’s funeral on 01/04. I performed 2,000 funerals at Arlington National Cemetery within the USN Presidential Honor Guard. Out of all the funerals I have performed, I have never been so amazed and inspired by your team of vets on their bikes with the American flag; absolutely a beautiful memory I will forever treasure. It was an honor to shake all your team member’s hands.
Being a Navy veteran myself, I am inspired to get a bike and give back as you all did. I just need to convince my wife.
Thank you,
Charles J. McKittrick

Lt. Gene Weaver

Bill,
Thank you so much! I tried to find you at the graveside to speak with you, but I think I just missed you. My apologies.
I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the time and energy given towards my dads funeral. It was much more than anticipated! You and your volunteers were both professional and humble and it did not go unnoticed. I have to say the embroidered picture was unexpected and made me cry and will definitely be a family heirloom that we will cherish. I just looked at the link with the pictures and they also are so much more than I expected. Just so thankful to have them.
Your organization is such a blessing, and now that I know about it I will definitely share with others. Thank you so much for everything, please share my gratitude with the other volunteers.
Warm Regards,
Dagney Duck

Thank you so much! It meant so much to have y’all present with the flags. We appreciate the large number of riders. The certificate was beautiful. We are beyond grateful for these photos. Specifically the photos of Karla being presented the flag will be a moment we can frame and keep forever. Thank you again
