Great to see over 1,500 students at the Polk County School Board College & Career Fair. With reps from West Point, the Air Force Academy & Naval Academy on hand, it was inspiring to see so many young Floridians preparing for their futures and considering the call to serve. 🇺🇸

As a Naval Aviator who has lost friends to cancer, I’m grateful the ACES Act was signed into law by @POTUS. It will study cancer risks among military aviators, protecting their health & ensuring they receive the care they earned. Thank you for @RepPfluger for your leadership on.
