Following the September 11 attacks, American troops fought around the world.

To honor these Veterans, the non-profit "Warriors to Washington" takes a group of Veterans from Erie to the U.S. Capitol.

It's an expensive venture every year.

Presque Isle Downs and Casino is helping to off-set those costs.

Vice-President and General Manager Gary Hendricks presented a check to Warriors to Washington for over $35,000.

The annual September trip stops at the National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery, the Vietnam and WWII Memorials and Flight 93 Memorial Park.
