100% of all donations collected are given to wounded veterans and their families.
We work to unite Americans beneath the banner or Flag and behind the men and women serving in the Armed Forces. We raise money through our national network and distribute it directly to the families we strive to support. The families are selected for us mostly through the VA Hospital network.
Each year, the Nation of Patriots organizes a national effort that pays tribute to and honors all of America’s Armed Forces - Past, Present, and Fallen. This united effort is known as The Patriot Tour. The Patriot Tour begins the weekend before Memorial Day. A massive group of riders escorts one American Flag on the back of a motorcycle around the 48 contiguous states plus Hawaii and Alaska. Normally, the launch & homecoming takes place in Wisconsin where our Headquarters is located. For 2022, the Patriot Tour is very different. The flag will begin on May 21st in Erie, PA! It will then travel clockwise around the 48 states arriving in Las Vegas on July 15th, with a trip to Hawaii & Alaska following! It will then come back to Las Vegas on July 24th and will continue its journey clockwise through California and around the U.S. returning to Erie, PA for a homecoming ceremony on Sept 17th. This 120 day journey covers 14,500 miles by motorcycle and 8,000 miles by air for Hawaii and Alaska!
It’s the very foundation of the American Flag and all it represents that our brave men and women in the military have stood and died defending, continue to stand and protect, and will forever fight for.
For those outside of the SW U.S. area, please click on our link to the national website to see when the flag will be in your region & you can even register to join the tour. From there, you can also see us under the Photo Gallery section!
