Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) announced today that his annual Patriot Trip to Washington D.C. will unfortunately be postponed this year in the wake of the COVID-19 virus\u2019 presence in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intent behind this postponement is to protect our veterans who were interested in traveling to Washington, D.C. With all that is known about COVID-19, it was decided that 52 men and women on a bus traveling across various state lines where health regulations could vary radically, and would not be in the best interest of veterans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley, who has served on the Assembly Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee since 2006, was just as disappointed about the decision, but understands this temporary pause is in the best interest of the continued well-being of the veterans of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Patriot Trip is the highlight of every year,\u201d Hawley said. \u201cThis trip was inspired by Mike Paduchak, a World War II veteran, who asked me to come together with local veterans and host a trip to Washington D.C. Through the experiences of my father, veterans I have met during previous year\u2019s trips, and my own service in the military, I have gained a tremendous understanding and admiration for the sacrifices endured by our veterans. I haven\u2019t missed a trip for 12 years, and I wouldn\u2019t miss it this year were it not for the risks. I am willing to postpone this year\u2019s trip to ensure all of my friends I\u2019ve made through the trip will be healthy to travel next year. And as for next year, I hope to see as many veterans as possible turn out for the tentative trip date of September 16-19, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
