Welcome to Old Guard Riders Inc. As members of the Old Guard Riders, we hold the deepest respect for the men and women of the United States military, past and present. We honor the sacrifices that they have made protecting our great nation and all that we hold sacred. We also recognize and are deeply concerned about the cost that so many veterans are paying for their service in the form of homelessness, severe and chronic illness, disability, hardship and suicide. Today, over 250,000 American veterans are homeless on the streets of the country they fought to protect. Over 2,000 WWII veterans are dying each day. Hospitals, nursing homes, VA facilities and other care providers are overwhelmed with ill and aging veterans. As many as 12,000 veterans attempt suicide every year. Tragically, an average of 18 war veterans kill themselves each day. Remembering America's Homeless & Forgotten Veterans
Old Guard Riders Inc. is a non-partisan, non-political organization and has no affiliation with any religious group, political party or governmental agency. "The
willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no
matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive how
the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation" |

Old Guard Riders & the Red Poppy
"We cherish too, the Poppy red Quote from poem by Moina Michael Inspired by the red poppies which
filled the European battlefields and cemeteries of WWI
Every American should see a poppy and instantly recognize it as a symbol for
veterans and the sacrifices they have made.
