Special Mission

New York Run For The Fallen

All Military Branches

Schuylerville, NY - 06/11/2023

Mission applies to the following Region(s):

Region 4, Region 5

About the Mission:

Patriot Guard Riders has been requested by event organizers to participate in the New York Run For The Fallen event honoring our fallen military men and women and their Gold Star families.

The New York Run for the Fallen is a special event to call attention to, and honor the men and women who have died in military service to America. Although we visibly run to honor and remember each fallen hero from the current conflicts, the total run from the Honor the Mountain Monument in Watertown to the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery in Schuyerville represents every service member from New York who laid down their life for freedom's cause.

Thousands have sacrificed to preserve our way of life. And as we give tribute to these heroes, we also remember all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice throughout history. New York is rich in the foundation of this country and has given many of her sons and daughters. Regardless of war or conflict, the branch of service, or the method of death, we ultimately run for them all, honoring their service and sacrifice, and remembering that they each gave up a future so that we could have ours. We give tribute to them by name wherever possible and to the sacrifice of the families, they left behind.

Special Covid-19 Mission Guidelines:

Updated 8 March 2022

Based on the most current COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines: Protect Yourself and Your Family from COVID-19, and CDC Guidelines of 3 March 2022, going forward, the Lead Ride Captain for any mission will be responsible for determining whether PGR members will have to mask up or not. Please ensure that you have a mask with you, should the need arise, and respect the LRC’s decision in these matters.

Special Information:

PGR will form a flag line at the main flag pole for the arrival of the runners, after which we will stand during the Run For The Fallen ceremony.

Be sure to bring portable flag poles as we're not sure whether large flag poles will be used for this event.  Refreshments will be available on-site.
