First thing I did Thursday morning was stop by Batavia Downs to see off Assemblyman Steven Hawley and about 140 of his military veteran pals on a trip to Washington, D.C.  Today's time pressures kept me from doing a post about it until just now.

The video above is Steve talking about the trip. Below are three pictures I snapped just before the buses rolled.

Last year I said I would go this year. Well, maybe next year.

Our friends Dan and Debbie Fischer from WBTA are on the trip.

why not when a soldier comes back you should be able to hand them a beer...

It is a suitcase isn't it?

It could be some sort of tote, but sure as heck looks like a 12-pack to me. That's funny. I didn't notice it before.

Looks like Bud Lite to me too. Hey, it's a thirsty ride from here to there.
