Mark Pafford: Time to Extend Benefits for Recent Vets in Florida
Submitted by Kevin Derby on January 27, 2011 - 3:07pm
Rep. Mark Pafford, D-West Palm Beach, and Sen. Thad Altman, R-Viera, have reached out across the aisle to work together to craft a bill to extend benefits in Florida for recent veterans.
When Floridians are making huge sacrifices to serve and protect our country, the right thing to do is to ensure their eligibility for the benefits that they and their families deserve, said Pafford. Florida is home to nearly 200,000 men and women who have been deployed to active duty since Sept. 11, 2001. By recognizing in Florida statutes Operation New Dawn and other military operations subsequent to Sept. 11, 2001, we will ensure that these veterans receive the benefits they have earned for their service to our state and our country.
