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.
Sir, your team was so awesome! My husband of 47 years was so honored by your presence Because of his sincerely of importance of being a Veteran! God Bless each of you for making it such a day to be proud for.

Thank you for honoring Willie and his service. The weather certainly did not cooperate with us that day. He is in a better place and it is comforting to know his service to the United States was valued and appreciated.
Blessings to all who participated,
Mary Holt and family
Thank you so much for everything! Our family was very happy that y’all showed up and offered your help during this trying time. We truly appreciate you all for being there and making it special for us. Thank you for the beautiful photos.

Hi T-Bone,
it was a pleasure meeting you Monday, January 23rd. You and the entire crew did an amazing job recognizing and honoring my dad, John Lee Ross, who now rests at DFW National Cemetery.
Thank you so much!
Dawn Ross
Wow those are so beautiful as was the service. We were truly honored to have you brave men there with us. It meant so very much to us all. Words don’t mean much, but I thank you sincerely.

Oh my gosh, these pictures are everything! Thank you for capturing the moment. You did a great job. The Patriot Guard Riders were appreciated and made my dad’s service so special from beginning to end. Please relay my gratitude to the group.

Thank you so much. The service was so special and I know Fred would have felt so loved. This is such a wonderful group to honor our service men in such a way.
God Bless
Thank you for the link, the pictures will help me remember how special his service was.

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
I can’t thank you enough T-Bone. I appreciate you all for a beautiful tribute.

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
Grace Minter
