Patriot Guard Riders escort recently deployed McGuire Airman home from Philadelphia Airport
Tech. Sgt. Ryan Holmes, from the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center on Fort Dix, N.J., leads a group of motorcycle riders with the Patriot Guard Riders as they approach the main gate area of McGuire Air Force Base, N.J., May 14, 2008. The contingent of Patriot Guard Riders escorted Staff Sgt. Peter Bundesen, from McGuire's 305th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, from the Philadelphia International Airport to McGuire after Sergeant Bundesen returned from a deployment to Iraq. The Patriot Guard Riders are "a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation who ride motorcycles and have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America?s freedom and security," according to their Web site.
