Gov. Rick Scott made a stop in Port Charlotte Thursday.
He stopped by the Douglas T. Jacobson State Veterans’ Nursing Home to honor the veterans there. Scott gave 139 residents a “Governor’s Veterans Service Award.”
“I always when I do these, I think of my father,” Scott said. “He did all the combat jumps in the Second World War. Never thought he’d come back alive. There are so many stories of individuals that have served our country and sacrificed so we have the freedom to be here.”
The honorees included a former prisoner of the Korean War.
