It’s time once again for our Hometown Hero, brought to you by Batavia Downs Gaming with help from our friends at WNY Heroes who help us with our nominations every week.  This week, our Hometown Hero from Cheektowaga, NY is United States Navy Hospital CorpsWAVE Pat Sennett!

According to her nomination, Pat is very proud of her Military Service...but this only has come about in the past few years. She served as a Hospital CorpsWAVE from 1969-1972 at San Diego Naval Hospital where she unfortunately saw the after affects of the Vietnam War. When she returned to WNY, like many Vietnam Veterans she was also not welcomed home. Currently she is a Military Veterans Women's Advocate and often encourages and assists other women veterans to apply for benefits.

This week, for her service to her country and her fellow officers, we are happy to call Patricia Sennett our Hometown Hero of the week! .

If you would like to see a picture of Pat, get to WYRK.com!  While you’re there, nominate your own Hometown Hero. We like to honor both active duty and veteran heroes from right here in Western New York.

Thanks once again to Patricia Sennett from the United States Navy, our Hometown Hero of the week!
