Monty Posted April 1, 2009 #1 Posted April 1, 2009 Today, I heard a bunch of bikes outside, and when I looked, there were motorcycle troopers leading 2 buses full of Ft. Campbell soldiers coming back home. They were followed by about 50 riders, and several cars, all displaying flags. It was pouring rain...hard...really hard. I am sure they were Patriot Guard members. I have thought about joining the Patriot Guard for some time now, and I know there are several members on here. Could one of you hook me up with a number and name of a chapter that is close to me in West Tennessee? I would REALLY appreciate it. Us Vets like to take care of each other. Thanks in advance. Patrick

ragamuffin Posted April 1, 2009 #3 Posted April 1, 2009 I have been with patriot guard since its inception- thankyou for your interest. I will get you a name and number in the next day or so and get back with you tj
Squidley Posted April 1, 2009 #4 Posted April 1, 2009 There are many of us here that are members of the Patriot guard, I had the sad honor of leading the 1st one in Michigan with the help of Ohio's state captain Bob "Tater" Smith. It's a very sobering experience to help bring a fallen comrad to his home and share the pain of a families loss. Welcoming the ones back home is something I haven't had the privilege of doing. Thank you for your interest and support for our warriors.
r12guy Posted April 1, 2009 #5 Posted April 1, 2009 It easy to Join and get in contact with your State Captain, just log on to www.patriotguard.org and read the mission statement and if you feel the same way, then join. your State Captain should then contact you and /or you can go to the forms and look for your state and drop a line and let people know you joined.
1rooster Posted April 2, 2009 #6 Posted April 2, 2009 Thank you for your service and thank you for joining the Patriot Guard.
Monty Posted April 2, 2009 Author #7 Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks guys. I have signed up on the forums, so it's a good start. My forum name there is Fireman519. Oh, and I found out on the forums that they were sending off some TNARNG troops. They were escorting them to Ft. Campbell to deploy. I had bad information in my 1st post.
truckin48 Posted April 2, 2009 #8 Posted April 2, 2009 Hey Patrick, I belong to PGR here in Panama City, Fl. You can go on PGR.og and you can fill app. very simple and doesn't cost a thing. One of those deals, you do what you can, no pressure. One of the best things I have ever done. Come on aboard, we may meet up someday, its a small world. Later Dickie
loehring Posted April 2, 2009 #9 Posted April 2, 2009 Welcome aboard Patrick. My user name is loehring on the PGR site just like here. You made a good decission to join and I know it will have an effect on your life as you effect the lives of our military families. Like you've heard there are a number of us that are also Ventureriders so feel free to contact any of us any time brother.
Jerry Zimmermann Posted April 2, 2009 #10 Posted April 2, 2009 Hey Brother Patrick, You done good! It will be the best organization you've ever joined. California has been hit really hard with KIA's, consequently I've got over a hundred+ missions under my belt! It does not hurt so bad when it's a Viet Nam Veteran, but when these Heroes are 18, 19 or in that age group and older, then the tears flow. Thank you for your Service to our Great Country! Ride Safe My Brother!!
ken Posted April 2, 2009 #11 Posted April 2, 2009 I plan to get involved with the guard when I get back in the saddle, and that of course depends what the economy does.
