Governor Rick Scott visited the C.W. Bill Young Armed Forces Reserve Center in Pinellas Park to award 90 veterans with his Governor’s Service Medal. Since 2013 Governor Scott has awarded nearly 15,000 veterans with the Governor’s Veterans Service Medal.
The following veteran was highlighted by the Governor at today’s event:
