Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez Announces Second Annual Holiday Letters to Heroes During the Holiday Season
Summary
Through her initiative, LG on Mission, the Lieutenant Governor is partnering with the Florida Department of Education to collect and send letters to support our military service members. My initiative, LG on Mission, focuses on honoring the courage and bravery of our military and service members and it is my hope that these letters from our students will not only spread holiday cheer, but share our gratitude and appreciation, from one Floridian to another.” “The Florida National Guard is tremendously proud to support the citizens of Florida. “These veterans gave every part of themselves to serve a greater cause – ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of their fellow citizens. Our veterans have endured countless days, weeks, and months away from their families, communities, and civilian employers, repeatedly and unhesitantly responding to calls for help from those in need. I am humbled to stand and serve alongside these magnificent and virtuous veterans.” “Our service members and the Florida State Guard have worked especially hard over the last few months to help Floridians following hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton,” said Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz, Jr. “I encourage all students to send a letter of thanks to the men and women that serve our state and wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.” Each student will submit a handwritten letter to the Florida Department of Education with a message of support and appreciation for our active duty military men and women.
