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

Hello Buster – On behalf of the family, I wanted to drop a note of Thanks to you and the other riders from yesterday’s ceremony. It meant a lot to us in the funeral procession and added the special decorum that Tommy would have loved, and wanted.
Again, Thank You —
Michael S. Pinksa


On behalf of our entire family, I cannot begin to tell you how meaningful and proud we all were for your participation. Tommy would have been in tears of joy and stood there in a full salute as well. I only wish he could have known y’all.
I am forwarding this to my family and we do want to make a donation to your amazing organization.
Blessings on all of you, each and every one. I think we were most brought to tears when we drove by that construction site and those boys took off their hard hats and put them over their hearts.
How touched we were.
Warm Regards,
Lin Hampton

Hello Mark,
I have been thinking about how I could find the words to thank you and every single Patriot Guard Rider who was at dad’s service. I hope you can share my message with them all.
I was fortunate to do one ride with dad not too long ago. I was humbled to be there and witness the respect you all show your fellow serivce members and their families, not thinking it would one day soon be me on the receiving end. What you all do is an act of love that can’t be put into words. I know mom and dad felt deeply about the Missions. I remember just a week before dad passed, he was talking about wanting to try and do a mission.
Please accept my thanks for your care and love you all showed us. The pictures are amazing. And, thank you all for your service to our Country and for those who ride that didn’t serve, thank you for honoring those who did.
With a grateful heart,
Daniele Loke and family

Justen Currie

Sincerely, Larry Currie

Dear Mr. Hammock,
Please forgive the tardiness of this note – my intent was to send it much earlier but I’d get too emotional and would always think “maybe tomorrow….”.
On October 10th, you and your very esteemed group accompanied our family to Southland Cemetery and respectfully watched over us as we laid my father, Lee Brown, to rest. It was you, Sir, who presented the flag to both my sister and stepmother. I just wanted to thank you from every hidden corner within my soul. Your care and honor toward this duty you performed for our family was tremendous and it absolutely touched all who were present. When you handed the flag to my sister, I hope you knew in your heart that you had done such a beautiful, beautiful act to assist in her healing. When you went to get the flag presented to my stepmother, you paused. You turned momentarily and allowed the flag to rest on my dad’s casket for a moment before continuing to present it to my stepmother. Everyone witnessing that was touched deeply and overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness. We could not have asked for a greater gentleman to have represented our father’s military service than you. Thank you.
Again, I do apologize for taking so long to send this. You are wholly deserving of every honor & recognition for your flawless dedication to the somber duty you so perfectly executed. You stand out to my sister and I among the memories of that day. And the comfort we both share due to your selfless call to duty is not measurable. For this, please know how deeply, deeply we offer our gratitude and appreciation.
Wishing you an abundance of every blessing,
Hayley Armstrong


ALL of the very splendid men and women who shared their time and their very great respect that day touched our hearts. Each participant was so incredibly respectful and reverent. Please extend our gratitude to each one and let them know that we saw them. We felt them. The gift we were given in that moment on the 10th was 100% perfect and you and your colleagues just wrapped it all in the most platinum of Spirit. Such blessings you all truly, truly are. Again, I express my deepest thanks to everyone.
With deepest respect,
Hayley Armstrong


Ken,
I’m a little late with my ‘thank you’ to you and the Patriot Guard for the beautiful and touching service you presented for Lee. I know he appreciated all you did to honor an Air Force veteran. He was very proud of his service. I will always cherish the flag you presented to me.
Thank you again for all you did.
