WELCOME HOME MISSION FOR SSG Peter Bundesen, US Air Force, McGuire Air Base, Wrightstown, NJ 14 May 08
Our assistance has been requested to escort one of our New Jersey heroes back home to his awaiting family and friends at McGuire Air Base. This will be a two state mission and we will be working with PA to escort SSG Bundesen and his wife from Philadelphia International Airport back to McGuire Air Base. The flight is scheduled to arrive at the airport at 0830 on Wednesday morning.
SRC from Region 6 in Pennsylvania, Frank Tacey, will be coordinating the Pennslyvania portion and I will work with him to set up the NJ portion of the ride.
New Jersey riders will meet at a designated staging area to be set and then ride together to a pre-arranged meeting area to meet our Pennsylvania brothers and sisters as they escort SSG Bundesen and his wife. We will then enter New Jersey and proceed to McGuire Air Base. Further updates will be provided as they become available. Staging areas and ride routes will be posted as they become available during Monday.

| Outstanding! Welcome Home SSg Bundesen, Well Done! Thankyou for your service and protecting my freedoms. |

Usually at a time like this I struggle for words to comfort a friend who has suffered a loss. The right words don’t often come, but if accompanied by the right sentiment they can be soothing. But I have learned over time that the best comfort at a time like this comes from those who watch over us. My beliefs allow me to be comforted by a certainty that I am watched over by those who have gone before me. |

***********************RIDE UPDATE AND STAGING TIMES************************
This will be a two part mission. PA riders are to meet at Engine 69 Firehouse at 82nd and Bartram Avenue at 0730. KSU times will be provided by Frank Tacey to the Region 6 riders attending this mission. Pennsylvania Region 6 Riders will meet SSG Bundesen at the airport and escort him to the Walt Whitman Bridge where the NJ contingent will be waiting.
New Jersey riders will meet at the Walt Whitman Rest Area on the New Jersey Turnpike according to the ride itinerary below. We will proceed to the Walt Whitman Bridge to meet up with the Region 6 riders, and then proceed to McGuire Air Base. Since the sargeant has some business to accomplish once he returns to the base, the ride will end at the Welcome Center outside the base.
******************NJ RIDE ITINERARY AND STAGING INFORMATION***********************
I will be riding from the north according to the following schedule
1) Brookdale Rest Stop--Garden State Parkway South--mile marker 153. KSU at 0530
2) Iselin Rest Stop--Garden State Parkway South 3 miles south of Exit 135--Roll through--Depart 0600
3) New Jersey Turnpike--Exit 129 from the Garden State Parkway
4) Richard Stockton Rest Area--Between Exits 7A and 7. Mile marker 58.7 KSU @ 0630
5) Walt Whitman Rest Area--NJ Turnpike South between Exits 4 & 3. Mile marker 30.2 KSU @ 0745 to head out the Walt Whitman bridge. Weather should not be a factor tomorrow except to make it a good day for a ride.
The final Staging Area will be the Walt Whitman Rest Area on the Turnpike. We will leave from there to meet the Region 6 contingent at the Walt Whitman Bridge.
Ride Safe Everyone!!!!!!!!

*************************MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*********************************
As always, as usual, when the Pennsylvania Region 6 PGR and the New Jersey PGR get together to perform a mission together, good stuff happens. The look on SSgt. Bundesen's face when he came out of the terminal accompanied by his wife, Margaret and their children, with us standing there at attention made the day more than worth it. Thanks to Eric Sithens, the NJ Ride Captain, for getting us around New Jersey safe and sound. Can't say enough good about Frank Tacey and the men and women from Region 6 who just continue to do the best job ever of saluting these heroes. Looking forward to the next time we can work together again to provide honor and support to our heroes, the men and women of the best Armed Forces the world has ever seen. Job well done gang.
