5th Annual Armed Forces Freedom Ride held on May 15, 2011

Courier Post May 16, 2011

Motorcycle ride salutes soldiers, law enforcement

HADDON TWP. — The sound of freedom can take many forms.

Whether it is the sound of a military jet engine roaring across the sky, a young girl singing "God Bless America" or the roar of hundreds of Harley-Davidsons tearing down the highway, it's a noise that can't quite be classified.

Those taking part in the 5th Annual Armed Forces Freedom Ride experienced all three Sunday in a gesture saluting American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines as well as those who commit their lives to law enforcement.

For this particular ride you have a lot of law enforcement, military and firefighters participating but this one is for anyone that loves the sport's freedom," Sgt. First Class Ray Bunn said. "That's what it means to me."

Bunn, originally from Boyertown, Pa., but stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, was one of nearly 1,000 motorcyclists who made the 25-mile trip with his wife Tracey on his Harley Sportster XL 1200 Custom.

An activated reservist, Bunn first got into riding back in 2003 after returning from Iraq. Bunn was one of a handful of those in uniform, wearing a clean set of standard issue digital camouflage fatigues....click here to read full story and see photos...
