North Texas Patriot Guard Riders
Join Us
A common misconception is that you must be a veteran or ride a motorcycle. This is simply not the case.
While the majority of our members are veterans and do ride motorcycles, we have many who have never served a day in the military and many who attend missions in their vehicles we call "cages". If you share our passion, please join us.

New Member Resources
The Patriot Guard Riders of North Texas are called upon for many different kinds of missions; from flag lines, to funeral processions, to parades, to being pall bearers and everything in between. A saying we favor among ourselves is "Semper Gumby," Always Flexible.
Provided on this page are some guidelines and procedures that may help to answer questions and provide guidance. Always remember that the Mission Ride Captain has the final say. Situations may call for decisions on the fly and the Ride Captain has the authority, the knowledge and experience to know what to do and each has the full support of the Deputy State Captain.
Mission Guidelines
Given the ever increasing number of new riders who are coming to missions, the number of riders who can only come to an occasional mission and who have asked for a refresher, and the members who are new to the area and would like to have an idea of how we do things 'round here before they come out, we've been asked to write a few things down for folks to look at.
Procession Rules
The current North Texas PGR policy regarding processions:
Procession segments will not be conducted without LEO or PES presence. The Mission Ride Captain is authorized specific deviations at their discretion provided the MRC exercises sound judgment and prudent risk assessment.
The Flag Code
All Patriot Guard Riders should have a good working knowledge of the U.S. Flag Code. RCs should have intimate knowledge of it, as we are asked regularly about the handing of our flag and are expected to know the answers. The U.S. Flag code can be found here:
Safety
Keeping everyone safe is paramount. Below are links to helpful information to educate and help riders maintain their personal safety.
Flag Line Protocol
The Flag Line is a chance for the community to see that there is support for someone who offered their all for all of us. We do this as a sign of respect and honor. The Flag Line is one of the most visible things we do and perhaps what we are most known for.
