Updated 13 JUL 08 1001CST by Ladynighthawk
This is an update about the mission on Sunday afternoon, July 13. The mission has changed due to weather in Iraq. This welcome home will now take place on Monday, July 14th. Bad weather in Iraq caused the rotator flight to be delayed. This mission is now pushed back by one day. Please see mission information below. .....I hope to see many of you there....
Update 03 July 08 0919 Cdt Sandra

This is a heads-up about a possible short-notice welcome home mission on July 12 or 13th.
After a nice 'vacation' in Iraq, Air Force TSgt Jeff Hartke and Captain Nancy Lester are returning home to Rapid City and Ellsworth AFB.
They are flying into Baltimore on July 12th. Their arrival time into Rapid City is unknown at this time, but we'd like to be there to welcome them at the airport when they return. We may not know the arrival time into Rapid City until July 12th.
When they arrive home, we will meet in front of the airport terminal. We are allowed to park on the median in front of the terminal as long as we leave one person by the bikes when we go inside. We will likely have flags
Ride Captain Ed Kruse will me running the mission. If you expect to be able to attend this mission, please contact Ed at akek97718@msn.com .

Thanks for the welcome home... I'll see you when I get back in the US.
I'll push Captain Lester out in front of me so she gets the surprise.
Lance thanks for setting this up, I'll call you with the exact flight information once we get it.
