The 2022 Patriot Guard Riders Dixie Region Gathering Of The Guard will be hosted by the Patriot Guard Riders of Alabama. This event allows members of the six states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) comprising the Dixie Region to meet to renew friendships and establish new friendships, and to honor the memory of those who have passed after the previous Gathering. This enhances our belief that there are “No Borders” in the Dixie Region. In keeping with the "No Borders" guideline, PGR members from outside the Dixie Region are always welcome!REGISTRATION:
