IIf there was ever a word
which described the men and women of the United States Armed Forces,
that word would be patriotic. Brave young men and women volunteer
to place themselves in harm's way to protect and defend the principles
and freedoms that we, as Americans, hold so dear. As American citizens,
we are reminded every day of the sacrifices which they are called
upon to make in the accomplishment of their mission.

If there was ever a word which described the members of the Gulf
Coast Patriot Guard , that word would be respect. Gulf Coast Patriot
Guard members, out of a deep and unwavering respect for the young
men and women of the United States Armed Forces, volunteer to honor,
protect and support these American Heroes and their families. The
Gulf Coast Patriot Guard's primary mission is to attend the funeral
services of fallen American Heroes as invited guests of the family
in order show our sincere respect for our fallen Heroes, their grieving
families, and their communities, and shield the mourning family
and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or
group of protestors. Secondarily, we participate in and support
civic and charitable projects which aid past and present military
members across the country.
Freedom
Isn't Free
"The average
American will never understand the price of their freedom until
they have been to the funeral of someone who has paid it".
