I come from a long line of military family. After injuries in boot camp it took me a long time to figure out how I could make a difference. A friend asked me to join.

Patriot Guard Riders and Acadiana Area for Vets are non profit motorcycle groups who honor our fallen military and first responders. We stand flag lines during funerals, escort funeral procession to honor them and support of the families. Each district is different. Our group also collects items to make gift bags for veterans in the nursing homes and are delivered between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I Love these groups because you don't have to ride a motorcycle to join, you just have to WANT to support and show your respect for our active duty and veterns.
