AMRR RIDE PATCH & ROCKERS

The AMRR Main Patch is based on the original 'American War Cemetery' (AWC) design used for the first ride in 2009, signifying the origin  and purpose of that ride and roots from which the AMRR has grown. The original patch consisted of the white US military star insignia on a blue background with the poppy, the international symbol of remembrance, in the centre.  In 2010 the Remembrance Ride became a truly international affair with an organised event, following the same pattern on the same day, being held in the United Kingdom and the United States. To signify this, the crossed flags of the two countries were added to the patch and the poppy brought to the front identifying the meaning of what the ride had set out to achieve. The new 'Main Patch' is a little larger than the original and has been designed  to be a one off under which 'Year Rockers' can be added. 'Year Rockers' have been themed around the 'Main Patch' with the design incorporating the letters AMRR and year either side of a poppy.

By AMRR 2011, Canada had also joined the ride and so, to ensure future expansion in further countries could be catered for without a need to redesign the Main Patch, it was agreed that the Main Patch will be of the same design in all countries with the exception of the left flag, which will be that of the host nation. The Union Flag will always be to the right to signify the origins of the ride. We realised that nations would want to display each others flags in respect of the fallen heroes for which this ride is organised, so a 'Flag Rocker' has been designed to sit above the 'Main Patch' displaying the flags of all other nations involved in the ride. The Flag Rocker will be a replaceable patch each time a new nation joins the ride. 

Below shows examples of how the patches will appear in different countries.
