Thank you so much. It was wonderful to have the Patriot Guard to be a part of our life long memories of my husband's funeral. You helped turn a sad day into a little brighter moment for each of us. I certainly appreciate the pictures, since none of the family was capable to take any. This was very kind of you. The Patriot Guards will always hold a special place in our hearts for the honor shown to my husband, Myles Townley. Thank you again.

Jeffrey,
I cannot thank you enough for the honoring of my husband - both you and the PGR provided at last Thursday's (Celebration of Life) and Friday's (DFW Nat'l Cemetery) services. Thank you also for the picture link. Your generous giving of time, and the presentation of incredible gifts, honoring Allen's life of service, has truly overwhelmed our family. We are forever grateful to everything each and every one of you have done. You are truly an incredible group of American-proud, patriotic, selfless gentlemen. From the bottom of our hearts, thank YOU for your service. Your presence last week was a fantastic feather in the many caps my husband wore over the years.
Warm regards,
Janine Richards

Many thanks to you and your crew! I also wanted to tell your group I noticed you all praying at the shelter at the conclusion of the service and I’m grateful for that. I believe the honor and glory that goes to God is what your services are all about and I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of seeing that. God bless you and the guard riders-

My dear Patriot Guard Captain,
Words can not express the appreciation for you and all your team. The respect and honor shown to my father and our family was so nice. My father would have loved it. I personally thank each and everyone of you for the great job you did.
I was not expecting a GoPro video and was so glad to see it. Actually that is why it took me 3 days to respond. So to follow up to your saying sorry you took so long to get this to me, I was more impressed with how quick I received it from you! I had to wait to watch the videos and have quiet time to go through all the pictures. LOVE them. The one of his grandsons walking him up was precious.
I have so many positive things to say but will finish with my final thought..... the PGR standing at the van saluting as my father was being moved.... that caught my brother and I's attention with so much admoration.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
You made a sad difficult time special and proud.
Thank you for what you and the PGR do to honor our Veterans.
Peace of Christ be with you all,
Teri Seaton

Good Morning Mark,
The service yesterday was absolutely beautiful! The Patriot Guard Riders were spectacular lining the walkway and the flags were beautiful.
I regret that after the service I did not have enough time to thank each any every Guard that was there. In order to witness the interment, my son and I needed to follow the Cemetery Representative.
As I prepare for tomorrow’s Celebration of Life, I was wondering if there are any photos ready. I would like to get some developed today and have framed to set out for viewing tomorrow.
Please let me know if any will be available today.
Thank you so much Mark for supporting me as we walked together to the shelter. I felt the support for me and honor the group had for Chris.
Thank you.

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)

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,

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.

Again, Thank You --

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.

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

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.

I was so pleased to make them feel like they were there. You have no idea what that meant to us. Please give my thanks to Linda. She does a beautiful job!
We can't thank you enough for delivering the eulogy. You read it so perfectly. I feel like the heavens opened up and gave me a big helping hand for the final part of this journey. You and your group are my angels. You are such a gentleman and, I was grateful for your sturdy arm and compassion. It was our honor to have you all there. I wish I had it together better that day, and spent a moment with each one of you. Please pass along our thanks to all.
We were so pleased to read what the donation will be used for. What a wonderful thing that you do! It was the perfect ending for this occasion. Kevin was a flag guy, so it was great to read what you wrote. He made sure that his Dad had the pole and proper flag for the front yard. Dad puts it up and down every day. I see how important your organization is. I'm really proud of all of you. Thank you all for your service to our country also!
God Bless you and yours.

Thank you so much for coming and for the beautiful remembrances you gave us. I am thrilled with the photos you took for us, they will be going in albums we are putting together for ourselves. It truly meant so much for you all to be there yesterday. The Flag Flying, the very presence of the Patriot Guard Members and the remembrances touched our hearts. Dad was pleased with yesterday because it embraced the loves of his life….God, family, country and aviation
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
Blessings to each of you,

Thank you so much for today. Having y'all there really meant the world to me and I know my dad would be so proud.
My next charity event will be in November. Harmony for Hero's. Where 100% or the money raised will go to a veterans organization.
I have his patriot guard vest home with me and I will always treasure it along with the flag and certificate you gave in his honor today.
What you guys do it truly honorable and helps families so much. My daddy was my first love (as any little girls daddy is), my best friend and my hero.
Thank you and your team for all that you do.
God Bless, Ride Safely and never faster than your guardian angels can fly.
Sincerest Regards,

Hi Mr. Wike,
I cannot thank you enough for the loving kindness you showed our family last week. I cannot stop talking about you, your service men and women, and your wonderful organization. We were honored and blessed to host the Patriot Guard Riders.
Thank you so much for the pictures, they are absolutely perfect reminders of a tender day.
Thank you again, and perhaps we will meet again some day.
Take care, and God bless.

Good day to all the beautiful people of North Texas Patriot Guard Riders. Our family would like to express our appreciation to the Riders lead by you, Captain Dan Mathys for joining us during the Committal Service for my husband, a Navy veteran Richard E. Young last July 5th 2022. The service was brief but a very nice patriotic tribute. The PGR presence gave our family comfort, pride, support, and in awe from the good deeds of military groups of veterans like your organization. The commemoration plaque and the pictures given to us are something we will hold dear to our hearts. We are so grateful to all PGR members honoring our fallen soldiers. God Bless Y'all.
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Young & family

Buster,
Please let everyone know how important your presence was, and that word of it will be traveling around the world.
I (LuDell) was pleasantly surprised that the [DFWNC] Service was attended by Robert's friends and relatives from as far away as Africa, Japan, Indonesia, Germany, South America, and there were many positive comments about the Patriot Guard. Attendees said they were shocked at the professionalism, the heartwarming photos [Jen!], and the fact that you would all take time to do something so selfless.
Several attendees said they had no idea that a group like this existed in the U.S., so the day was a very good reflection on Robert, your group, and on the United States!
It was very important to Robert that you attend his service. God bless you all!
