For the Salisbury crew, this is a short but traffic intense trip of 9.13 miles. Please bear in mind that there are two seperate missions here. One for Salisbury and one for Parkville. I will continue to add any last minute details to the Salisbury portion only.
These kids are near and dear to my heart with them being my former soldiers to the point that I still consider them "my kids". I want to make sure that the shore shows them just how proud of them we are.
The armory has limited parking. Arrangements are being made to have unit soldiers on site to assist in traffic control and parking assistance. For those of you who may not be familiar, the Blair Lee Crockett Armory is located at the intersection of Ocean Gateway (RT 50) and Booth Street.
As further details are made known and hardened, I'll post.
Thanks to all and thanks to the fact that the 115th MP BN has once again brought everyone home. |

HEAD UP, The Troops have been reported as leaving early. At 0915 hrs they rolled out the gates of Ft Dix. My spy on the bus is going to try and help to keep the schedule as planned, but if the Salisbury Riders can show a LITTLE earlier, It would be appreciated.

I want to add a mission complete statement from our soldiers. Our kids were overwhelmed with the response that the Shore put out. With 53 bikes in attendance and a PERFECT day for a ride, I want to personaly thank all my brother and sister riders in attendance. A true spirit of reason pulled together 5 seperate clubs to welcome home our heros and I am truely thankful for each and everyone of you. Your efforts made our Heros truely understand that we are there for them. I received nothing but GLOWING thanks from each of our returning kids and their families.
Thanks you to you all from the bottom of my heart.
