Veteran appreciates Hawley for leading Patriot Trip
Editor:
A huge thank you goes out to Assemblyman Steve Hawley, his staff Eileen Banker and Jayleen Carney, and all the other volunteers who made last week’s Patriot Trip for veterans traveling to our nation’s capital a resounding success. This was the 16th yearly September trip that was organized, with more promised for the future.
This wonderful 4-day adventure had over 100 veterans, family members and friends traveling to Washington, DC and the surrounding area. The military theme that was choreographed for us was very well established for this first-time participant. The logistics included numerous service-related museums, memorials, Arlington National Cemetery: the list goes on and on.
My thoughts are that if you are a veteran and ever have a chance to climb aboard and travel on this bus of future adventure, it will be well worth your time and effort. New friends and history lessons will await you.
Thank you again!
