The Minnesota Patriot Guard Mission Statement:
The Minnesota Patriot Guard is a diverse group of riders and individuals with one thing in common: we all have tremendous
respect for those who risk their lives every day, whether on American soil or abroad, in securing our nation's freedoms
and liberties. We encourage those who share this respect to join us in support of all those who have served.
The Patriot Guard welcomes those who do not ride motorcycles, those who are not veterans, and those who come from different states. We only require Respect.
Our primary mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. We do
this to accomplish the following:
- Show respect and honor to our fallen heroes, and support their families and their communities.
- Ensure an atmosphere of dignity and respect for those in mourning.
Other missions undertaken by the Minnesota Patriot Guard include:
- Honor Missions for veterans as requested by families
- Visits to VA Medical Centers and Minnesota State Veterans Homes
- Welcome Home and Deployment Sendoff Missions
- Special Missions requested by Veterans Organizations
