Ander Crenshaw Honors First Coast Veterans

At the Mayport Naval Station on the First Coast on Friday, U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., honored 33 veterans in a ceremony.

Jacksonvilles Week of Valor is a fitting time to honor all our veterans, including 33 servicemen and women from Northeast Florida communities who received the 4th Congressional District Special Recognition Certificate, said Crenshaw. The United States Postal Service also gave special tribute to regional Purple Heart recipients. In all, let us never forget that our nations greatness is drawn from the blood and sacrifices of honorable and courageous men and women. I thank each of our honorees for standing in the face of incredible danger and hardship and give them my deep appreciation.

The nation honors Veterans Day on Monday. This year, Veterans Day falls on the 95th anniversary of the end of World War I.
