Your vest, and the PGR items you purchase are your property; you are free to wear what you wish on them, and wear them where you feel appropriate; with some caveats.

Remember, you frequently at a funeral, and always representing the PGR when you wear them. Do not attach political items, or wear a PGR vest to a political event.

Never attach anything that would disrespect our country, our military or first responders or their families, or the PGR in general. Be mindful of where you wear the vest so you do not show disrespect to the PGR or those we represent.

Users cannot edit or delete comments; however, a user can request a web admin to edit or delete a comment by using the Contact Us form.

First, click on the date link shown on the comment, then copy the URL listed in your browser.

Then go to the Contact-Us page, and select the Other tab. , then enter the information shown on the form. For the subject, enter “Comment Correction”. In the Message area, type the correction you wish to make, and include the URL you copied from the instruction above. This will enable the administrator to easily find the comment you want modified.

The Members option only shows to logged in members.

If you are a member, use the Login/Join menu option to log in, or go to https://www.patriotguard.org/login/

If you are not a member, you can sign up by using the Login/Join menu option, then selecting the Ready to Join? Click here option. You can also go to https://www.patriotguard.org/member-registration/

User names can only be changed by the system admins. To have your username changed, send an email to accounts@patriotguard.org

When you send your request, it’s a good idea to send 2 or 3 different choices. Usernames must be unique, and if your choice is already taken, we can’t change it.

We use the “comment” feature built in to WordPress for condolence messages. At the bottom of each mission listing, there is an option to leave a reply. If you are logged in, the prompt will show your log in name:

If you are not logged in, you will be asked to include your name and email.

We strongly recommend all PGR members log in before leaving condolence messages. This makes it unnecessary to identify you, and will include information from your profile such as your photo (if used). It will also get your comment posted faster.

The platform we used for the website since 2013 (vBulletin 4.xx) is being discontinued. We were in a bind because many of the plugins we were using (most notably the forms plugin that handles our missions) are no longer being supported. This means that would could not update the backend scripting files or the backend database.

Failure to do some of these updates would leave the website open to security problems, but doing them would break required functionality of the system. In short, it was an unsupportable situation, and we had to make a change.

We made the decision to use the most widely used and support platform instead – WordPress. While it entails some major changes, we are confident that this is the best move for the organization.

The passwords the system sends are randomly generated, and yeah, sometimes they’re a little cryptic.

However, it’s pretty easy to change to something easier. Log in using either your email address or your username along with the new password (they’re case sensitive). Once you’re logged in, select the Members menu option, then Update Profile. From there, you can change your password, change information in your profile, or upload/change a photo for your profile.

But… you can’t do all three at once. The profile page is divided into three entry sections (and one help section). Each entry section has their own button to save. Complete only one section and save it before moving on to any of the others.
