D.C. wants the brave men and women who helped secure the U.S. Capitol after the deadly Jan. 6 riot to come back and enjoy what the city has to offer. And there are big discounts in store for those who do so.
“We are grateful for the many Guardsmen and women and law enforcement officers who played a key role in securing the Capitol, and ensuring a safe and dignified transposition of power,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a Thursday news conference. “And we want to invite them and their families back to D.C. to enjoy all that our city has to offer — as soon as it’s safe to do so.”
“For many reasons, this year’s Inauguration was an extraordinary event, but we know that with everything going on — especially with the ongoing pandemic — most of the officers and guards didn’t get a chance to fully appreciate our nation’s capital. Whether you’re in downtown D.C. or one of our many vibrant neighborhoods, D.C. has so much to offer, and we look forward to welcoming these heroes and visitors from all around the world back to the greatest city in the world — and soon to be the 51st state,” the mayor said.
