The Nancy Hunter Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution and State Representative Billy Pat Wright honored Patriot Guard Riders with Certificates of Appreciation for the work they do for our fallen heroes. They risk life and limb to travel to Lambert International Airport in St. Louis to help bring the casket of our fallen soldiers home. As invited guests, they shield the mourning the family at all times. They also honor soldiers every December by participating in Wreaths Across America in 300 cemeteries nationwide.
