How did Old Guard Riders Inc. begin?
Upon the death of their son, SGT Robert Scott Eppich, OGR Founders Ron and Lea Eppich invited the Patriot Guard Riders to his funeral. Ron and Lea were so impressed with the significant role the PGR played in the lives of the families of fallen active duty military and military veterans, that Ron and Lea decided to try and create something as equally significant in the lives of America’s veterans in Robert’s memory. Building upon their experience as active members of the Patriot Guard Riders, Ron and Lea initiated Old Guard Riders Inc.
