- The Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) is an organization based in the United States whose members attend the funerals of members of the U.S. military and first responders at the invitation of a decedent's family. The group forms a voluntary honor guard at military burials, helps protect mourners from harassment and fills out the ranks at burials of indigent and homeless veterans. In addition to attending funerals, the group also greets troops returning from overseas at homecoming celebrations and performs volunteer work for veteran's organizations such as Veterans Homes. The organization is open to any persons, regardless of political affiliation, veteran status, or whether or not they ride motorcycles, as long as they have "a deep respect for those who serve our country". Some media reports have referred to the PGR as a motorcycle club. Patriot Guard Riders' representatives state that they are "not a motorcycle club", but an "Internet-based organization" and "communication system" by which members are informed of funeral events.

- Patriot guard riders är en amerikansk patriotisk organisation som deltar i begravningar av personer ur USA:s väpnade styrkor på inbjudan av de stupades familjer. Trots att organisationen ursprungligen grundades av motorcyklister är den öppen för alla. Det enda kravet är att medlemmarna skall ha respekt för de som tjänstgör för USA, antingen som militärer, poliser eller brandmän (a deep respect for those who serve our country; military, firefighters, or law enforcement"). The Patriot guard riders grundades i Mulvane i Kansas som American Legion Post 136 2006. Organisationen grundades ursprungligen för att skydda begravningar från protester av Westboro Baptist Church som anser att dödandet amerikanska soldater i Irak och Afghanistan är resultatet av USA:s acceptans av homosexualitet. Patriot guard fungerar som en sköld mellan de sörjande och de närvarande medlemmarna från Westboro Baptist Church och antingen genom att använda sina motorcyklar eller att hålla upp amerikanska flaggor. Gruppen dränker också protesterna genom att sjunga patriotiska sånger eller att varva motorerna. (sv)
