About Us
Guardian
You proclaim that you are a Guardian
By the patch you wear
Symbolizing to all that you have faith
That you are worthy
That you trust in yourself
But I wonder
Have you caught
The true meaning
Of the symbol you wear?
Why the background is black
And the letters maroon or blue
Why the shield covers the swords and
The scales hang unbalanced
Why the wings are silver as well as the border?
I tell you this
For this is who we serve
Black is for the dark times abused children live in
Maroon and Blue for the pain they endure at the hands of others
Silver is the lining
A ray of hope
That someday
The abuse will stop
The shield and swords are our tools
A Guardian must battle those whom oppose
The scales are unbalanced
And so will remain
Until such time that justice is served
On all those to blame
The archangel wings
Send a message of the highest importance
Valor
Truth and
Integrity
Is the Guardian way
Now I ponder
Are you a true
Guardian of the Children

Guardians Of the Children (GOC) was established in 2006 in San Antonio, Texas by a dedicated group of bikers who saw the need to educate and increase awareness of the ramifications and effects of child abuse. Abuse and neglect of children is a problem that affects all levels of our society which we must all be willing to address head on.
Our goal in GOC is to instill a feeling of safety and peace in the hearts and minds of the victims and families we assist. A unique component of GOC is the reality that as bikers we are all a part of something bigger. We stand as one prepared to protect our organization and to protect our priceless resource, “the children.”
The Interworkings of GOC
We partner with Children Advocacy Agencies, Victim Assistance Groups, and others to raise awareness of the prevalence of child abuse. GOC assists these agencies by being one of many resources available to them and introducing the child into our organization where it has been determined it would be beneficial in order to lend support to their family and at the same time protect that child.
