Earlier this summer, Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C-Batavia) announced this year’s Patriot Trip to Washington, D.C., which will take place from September 21 to 24, where veterans and their families will get a tour of the nation’s capital and its numerous monuments and landmarks honoring those who served. This year’s trip will include stops at several notable locations in the D.C. area, including the WWII, Korean and Vietnam War memorials and Arlington National Cemetery.
“I am incredibly excited to host this event for another year,” said Hawley. “This trip is a great opportunity to honor our local veterans. We owe a deep level of gratitude for all they have sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy in this nation, so being able to take them to our nation’s capital to see these historic landmarks every year is truly an honor.”
The deadline to register for this year’s Patriot Trip has once again been extended. Because the trip is for local veterans, the hotel is allowing additional time for sign-ups. Those interested in participating must register by Tuesday, August 29, at 3 p.m. This trip is open to all military veterans and their families. The cost will be between $450 and $500 per person and includes travel, accommodations, admissions, meals and some souvenirs. Those who are interested in participating in this event should contact Hawley’s office at 585-589-5780 or email carneyj@nyassembly.gov for more details.
