The event, raising funds for the GI GO Fund, began with all entering the Hudson River from Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey, and swimming to the Statue of Liberty.

Once back in the water they finished their cross-Hudson River swim at South Cove Marina in Battery Park, Lower Manhattan.
Back on land, they began a one-mile run, carrying American Flags, to the American Response Monument ,(the Horse Soldier Statue) in Liberty Park at the World Trade Center Campus to honor the victims of September 11, 2001 and all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Wars.

Monday, August 1, 2022, George Washington Bridge.
A man threatening to end his life by jumping from the north walkway of the George Washington Bridge brought together the expertise of the PAPD and NYPD to save his life.
Monday evening the PAPD was alerted to the man's dire situation after being contacted by an acquaintance of the man who received cellphone photos and information indicating the harm he wanted to do to himself. New York City Special Operations Division also notified the PAPD of information that the man was armed with a knife.
During a PAPD canvas of the bridge, Port Authority Police Officer Nick Vuksanovich located the man mid span on the outer ledge of the north walkway. The walkway's outer ledge and the walkway were separated by a newly installed twelve foot fence, presenting responders with a difficult rescue. PO Vuksanovich, joined by NYPD ESU Police Officer Rossomando, created a dialogue with the man lasting approximately three hours. Vuksanovich asked the man if he had a knife which he confirmed but refused to surrender. He further stated,, "I am not coming to the other side, I want to jump..." NYPD Aviation and Harbor units set up a perimeter above and below the scene.
While Vuksanovich and Rossomando kept the man engaged, PAPD ESU created a rescue plan and performed a dry run out of sight of the man. Once confident the plan was viable it was put into action.
Using special equipment PAPD ESU officers were able to cut out a section of the fence, away from the man. PAPD ESU Police Officer Joe Burzinski donned a harness, crawled through the opening onto the six inch ledge high above the Hudson River and made his way to the man. Burzinski used his body protecting the man by trapping him between himself and the fence. Burzinski was able to move the man to safety.
A precise and exceptional rescue by two agencies working together using their professionalism, experience and dedication to save a life. Outstanding job!

Recently, the PAPD George Washington Bridge Command was alerted to an abandoned vehicle in the vicinity of Bruce Reynolds Boulevard and Lemoine Avenue in Fort Lee, New Jersey. When patrol units responded they found an abandoned 2016 Mercedes Benz that was still running. A computer check revealed the vehicle was stolen out of Newark, New Jersey. An employee of a local business told the officers five individuals exited the vehicle and ran in different directions. The PAPD broadcasted information to other police departments. Fort Lee police officers responded to assist in a canvas for the fleeing individuals. The canvas resulted in the arrest of four juveniles and an adult in different locations. All were returned to the PAPD GWB Command for further investigation and processing.
The four juveniles were released to parent. The adult was charged with Receiving Stolen Property and Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance.
A great effort by two outstanding police departments.
