Marc Kenneth Castellano and Christopher Milito

Day 2 of the Police Unity tour took us on familiar roads from Edison NJ to Wilmington DE. We got off to an early start and the weather was great all day. Road conditions and debris kept the repair trailer busy and us riders grateful for all the spare parts provided by the PUT and the awesome mechanics who keep us rolling.

Shortly after our first break of the day, hosted by the Target in East Windsor Township, we headed off to pay tribute to New Jersey State Police Trooper Marc Kenneth Castellano. Several NJ State Police members are riding with us in his honor.


After our lunch, hosted by the Abundant Life Church, we rode on to the Commodore Barry Bridge, where we honored Officer Christopher Milito of the Delaware River Port Authority who was also killed last year. Although no one from the department is riding for him, the DRPAPD is still a vital part of the PUT Family. They close the bridge so we can safely continue on our journey and helped out with route security along the way today

After paying our respects, and taking a quick break, it was off to face the Commodore Barry Bridge and continue on into Pennsylvania and Delaware for the night.


Stats for the day:
1 - Tire, tube & rim tape destroyed by a rogue screw in the roadway
~90 - Miles ridden - lost a few getting the flat fixed.
1 - Officer killed overnight while we ride for those who died. Sergeant Brian Dulle, Warren County Sheriff, Ohio.
