OUR PROGRAMS
HONOR MISSIONS
Honor Missions are for
the Fallen Warriors of our country.
We will attend these missions when,
requested by the families of the
fallen.
Here is how things
work:
ACTIVE DUTY
DEATH:
The State Captain is notified by the
Department of Defense of the death.
We then contact the Casualty
Assistance Officer in charge of the
case. We express our desire for
him/her to let the family know that
it would be and Honor for us to be
able to show our Honor, Dignity and
Respect for the loss of their loved
one.
We explain to them
what it is we do, and also give them
our National web-site address so
they as well as the family can visit
the site and see what we are all
about. Sometimes you will see on the
National Site under Pending Missions
the name of the Warrior that just
lost their life. What this means is
we are awaiting approval from the
family to attend.
So please if you see
this visit the thread and leave a
condolence to the family. If it
becomes a Confirmed Mission, these
posts will move into that area as
well.
VETERANS DEATH:
We will upon request by the family be
there to Honor any Veterans
death from any era of service or any
branch of service ,regardless if they
served in combat or peace time. There
is information that we will require
and that information will be gotten
by the State Captain/Assistant State
Captain. The family will need the
deceased DD-214, however if they do
not have a copy still let us know and
we will work it out. The Ohio Patriot
Guard Riders does not want any
Veterans last days to go
unnoticed.
If you were to ask the
question, How do I get the Ohio
PGR to come to my loved ones
funeral this question will
help! Simply have the person that
represents the familys wishes
e-mail me at the following e-mail
address: ohiocaptains@patriotguard.org and we will contact
you!
The Assistant State Captain will get
the information and notify our
division.
WELCOME
HOME MISSIONS:
These missions are
really very fun and emotional; by
this I mean to see these Warriors
returning from their deployments
where ever they have been in the
World it is a sight to see. No matter
if it is one warrior or a whole unit
of warriors, when they exit the
vehicle or aircraft, bus, etc; what
ever mode of transportation they used
to get home.
Seeing the excitement
in their family members eyes
awaiting their loved ones arrival is
truly priceless.
We will upon request
from the family of a Warrior coming
home be there to welcome them home,
again there is information we will
need to make this a
WELCOME HOME
MISSION We will need to
talk to the family member and let
them tell us what they want us to do.
Such as be at the airport, bus
station, train station or even at
there home. All that needs to be done
is contact the State Captain or
Assistant State Captain at: ohiocaptains@patriotguard.org
DEPLOYMENT MISSIONS:
A Deployment Mission
is when a Warrior or group of
warriors are being deployed any
place in the World.
We have to be invited
by the family member or the Unit of
the Warrior/Warriors.
We will require
certain information for them, once
this has been done the Mission will
be posted on our Nation we-site.
There are strict rules
we must follow that have been given
to us by the Department of Defense as
to what information we can post.
These missions
although sad, need to be done so our
Warriors know that we as
Patriotic Americans support not only
them, but their families as well.
What we do at these
missions is Stand in Honor of these
Warriors for the journey they
are about to embark on and let them
know that we have their backs here in
America, and we will be there for
them when they come home.
The Deployment
Missions are posted on the National
web-site under the Welcome Home /
Help on the Home Front Header.
Again have the family
member or person in charge of the
Unit e-mail the
State / Assistant
State Captain at ohiocaptains@patriotguard.org
We need as
much Advanced Notice as possible
Once we have the
required information it will be
posted on our National web-site under
Welcome Home Missions.
Our Active Duty
Military as well as our Veterans are
constant reminders that,
ALL
GENERATIONS HAVE THOSE WHO COMPRISE
THE
GREATEST GENERATION
