It’s time once again for the Hometown Hero brought to you by Batavia Downs Gaming.  This week we honor Tyler Seamans from the United States Navy. 

Tyler is originally from Scio, NY and has been in the Navy for three years.   During those three years, he has been on two deployments and has not been able to make it home for Christmas.  This year he was all set to be home for the holiday as soon as he got back from deployment.  However, on the way home, The Philippines was struck with a typhoon and his ship was redirected to provide help.  So he was not able to come home…again.  Tyler has a little sister who was 4 when he joined the Navy.  She was so excited to have him home this year for Christmas, and then so let down when he didn’t make it.  However, he was able to make it home for her birthday.  If you’d like to see the video of his homecoming, check it out below.  Get the Kleenex ready.

It’s obvious how much he means to his family, his community, and his country.  We are proud to call Tyler Seamans our Hometown Hero of the week!

If their name is chosen, we will not only feature them on WYRK.com, but we’ll be sure to thank them for their service on the air and dedicate the first song on Noon Tunes to them.

Once again, thank you to Tyler Seamans, our Hometown Hero of the week!
