Logan Slater, a military police officer with Security Battalion, is gifted a plane ticket home and Washington Capital merchandise by Slapshot, the Washington Capitals mascot, during a hockey game between the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Dec. 11, 2025. Slater was gifted a plane ticket home and Washington Capital merchandise from the Armed Services Young Man’s Christian Association’s Operation Ride Home. Operation Ride Home provides travel assistance to service members and their families, helping them travel home for the holidays. The program, open to active duty and reserve personnel from ranks E-1 to E-5, aims to strengthen military families by bridging gaps that can prevent holiday travel.
