Membership is free and open to anyone who respects our mission. You do not need to be a veteran or ride a motorcycle. Come to a mission, hold a flag, and see what it means to honor those who served.
"Standing for those who stood for us"
Participation takes many forms. Some members ride, while others do not. What brings us together is a commitment to showing up with dignity, respect, and quiet support for veterans, service members, and their families. In the flag line, everyone stands with the same purpose.
The Bay Area Region serves thirteen California counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Monterey, Napa, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Sonoma. If you live near the region or simply want to stand with us, you are welcome to take part.
PGR is a volunteer organization. What you give is your presence and your respect.
Here is what standing with the group is like, from the moment you arrive.
Come to the staging location a little early. New riders are welcomed and introduced, and the Ride Captain thanks everyone for volunteering.
Before the mission begins, the Ride Captain explains the mission, the flag line, and what to expect, so you know exactly what will happen.
The heart of most missions is a flag line held with dignity. The American flag is always held upright and treated with respect.
If there is an escort, ride at your own skill and comfort. Riders and non-riders each have a place, and members watch over one another.
Phones are silenced, there is no alcohol during a mission, and we stay quiet, mindful, and respectful around the family and the service.
When PGR's part is done, the Ride Captain brings the mission to a respectful close. You leave having helped honor someone who served.
