The Patriot ride has given us years of memories. We’ve shed tears of joy.  We’ve shed tears of sadness.  We’ve felt an overwhelming array of emotions. The Patriot Ride brought us together to celebrate those who keep us safe and free. To celebrate those men and women’s families that stay behind. To celebrate America.

As we say goodbye to the Patriot Ride, we want to thank everybody who has helped us celebrate and remember…you are true patriots!  Please enjoy taking a look back at some of our favorite memories from years past.  None of this was possible without all of you.  So one more time…THANK YOU!

Minnesota Patriot Guard is a diverse group of riders and individuals with one thing in common: we all have tremendous respect for those who risk their lives every day, whether on American soil or abroad, in securing our nation’s freedoms and liberties.

Minnesotans’ Military Appreciation Fund gives us an opportunity to show our troops how much we value their commitment and service to our country. MMAF is a non-partisan, volunteer-run, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation formed to raise money to provide cash grants as a “thank you” to all Minnesota military personnel who have served in a combat zone since September 2001.
