"Being away from one's family is difficult, especially during the holidays," said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. "These men and women have courageously served our state and we want to share our gratitude and appreciation for their service." Major General John D. Haas of The Adjutant General of Florida echoed this sentiment saying that receiving letters from home while deployed during the holidays will be very appreciated. Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz Jr. added that this is a great opportunity for students across our state to send encouragement to those bravely serving in the Florida National Guard.
Under Governor DeSantis' leadership, Florida is now considered the most military- and veteran-friendly state in the nation. The Framework for Freedom Budget allocated record funding to the Florida National Guard to elevate force readiness and reduce dependence on federal resources as well as $108 million to grow the Florida State Guard - a civilian volunteer force - to aid during emergencies.
