Overview
Mission
The Indiana Patriot Guard Riders provide assistance to armed service members and families. Through care packages to active duty service personnel, awards to outstanding individuals and donations to other 501(c)(3) exempt organizations, the riders show respect, honor and gratitude to all involved in the protection of our liberties.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Indiana Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse group of riders and other citizens from across the State of Indiana. We have one thing in common, an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America's freedom and security.We don't care what your political views are, or whether you are a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter what part of the state you are from or what your income is; you don't even have to ride a motorcycle. The only prerequisite is respect.Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family.
