Welcome to Back the Blue Nevada County’s Official Website!
We are a Christian community organization located in the stunning Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California.
Our Mission Statement
We stand together in support of law enforcement and all Emergency Responders as a proud Christian community organization. We oppose the national movement to defund and dismantle police forces and honor our true fallen heroes.
As advocates of American Patriotism, we fully support our Armed Forces, uphold our rights as legal American citizens, and strive to ensure that the principles of the United States Constitution are respected by our city, county, state, and federal government officials.
One Nation Under God and United We Stand. We the People, in God We Trust.
We are proud to be Americans and actively participate in Nevada County events that celebrate our mission. We are Back the Blue Nevada County!

Back the Blue Nevada County and the American Legion Post 130 will come together on Patriot Day, Friday, September 11th, for a special Commemoration Ceremony to honor the 25th Anniversary of 9/11/01 by paying tribute to the thousands of lives lost on that tragic day and for an expression of gratitude to all emergency responders and military members, past and present.
At 4pm, our ceremony will begin with a fly-over, followed by an Opening Prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem, the American Legion Post 130 Honor Guard, a bugler playing Taps, a 21-Gun Salute, a Moment of Silence, and then we will depart on our ride at 4:30pm with our American, Military and First Responder Flags soaring.
All street-safe vehicle types may partake in our ride, which will take us through downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City, and is also set to include our fire, police and emergency departments. All traffic laws must be obeyed throughout our ride, and printed route directions will be distributed prior to departure.
This is a family-friendly, free community event! Please spread the word and feel free to invite others. Everyone is welcome. We will have extra American flags available for those who need them.
