The Patriot Guard Riders have a new patch they are using to raise money for their charitable causes.
Their patch is $10 and goes toward their trademark defense fund.
Apparently they have a dispute with an individual over trademark.
I don't know the details of their trademark dispute, and frankly don't care to know the details of their trademark dispute, but I do know that the Patriot Guard Riders paying respect to our fallen military and shielding military families from inappropriate protests at military funerals is a just cause.
Maybe you would like to consider visiting their website and buying a patch, maybe not.
It's another example of a charity patch.

What is a charity patch?
This one is an under handed lobbed soft ball right over the plate that we'll just go ahead and knock out of the park.
A patch is little thing made of cloth and thread that in an of itself really doesn't have a lot of material value. They are usually made of cotton or a cotton nylon blend and the materials that go into the patch aren't particularly valuable.
A finished patch however usually has personal meaning to the holder of the patch and depending on the nature of the patch, one can have great personal meaning. Patches have historically been given to symbolize rites of passage through a group's internal codes and ranks. They're used in the military, in law enforcement and in the boy and girl scouts.
A charity patch is a patch that is sold and some or all of the proceeds given to a charitable cause.
Here's an example of a different company selling a charity patch (not CharityPatch.com).
Lowbrow Customs - a really neat-o company out of Ohio, I believe, has a motorcycle patch they have designed to be sold for $5.00 with the proceeds going to charity. They're looking to raise $12,000 for local schools by June. It's a pretty cool retro patch with a motorcycle wheel and wings.
Their stuff is always different and interesting, or at least it is to me.

You might even want to order 20 for your friends.
