Frequently
Asked Questions

What is the Patriot TourTM?

The Patriot Tour™ is the ceremonial passing of one American Flag through all 50 states. The Tour spans 15,000 miles and takes 115 days to complete. The flag is traditionally transported on the back of a motorcycle.

What is the Patriot TourTM for?

The Patriot Tour™ was created to honor ALL of the United States military: active service, veterans, deceased, and military families. The goal of the Tour is to raise awareness for the needs of these American heroes and to gather financial support that goes directly towards helping disabled veterans and their families.

Where can I donate?

We accept donations here.

Are you affiliated with any other tours?

The Patriot Tour™ is a standalone event and is NOT the Nation of Patriots Tour, the Harley Tour, the Flag Passing Tour, the Patriots Flag Tour, the Flag of Patriots Tour, the Honor Flight, the Moving Flag, or anything else.

WORKING WITH THE MEDIA

Our VP of Operations, Rick Bitzer, will work with local media in the geographic reach of each Tour stop to promote the Patriot Tour™. We will handle press release distribution, outreach and follow ups with all media surrounding the Tour.

If you have relationships with the local media please notify us team to avoid any redundant outreach. It is crucial that the messaging that is shared with any media is both authentic and consistent to the NoP brand. To ensure consistency of brand messaging, please refer to the Press Release template and Talking Points when in contact with media.
