Veterans

We owe a great debt to the men and women who fought for our country in defense of freedom and democracy. Throughout my tenure in Congress I have consistently voted to increase funding for both our veterans and actively deployed troops. Furthermore, over the last several years I have worked towards the goal of locating a Veterans Cemetery in Northern Florida to allow our communities’ veterans the option of a final resting place close to their homes and families. I am proud that we are close to realizing this goal, and am eager to continue to fight to provide our veterans with the benefits they deserve.
