“I’m honored my legislation to commemorate a hero here in Florida’s Seventh has passed the House Oversight Committee markup,” said Rep. Mills. “Colonel Kittinger’s service as a Command Pilot, including time spent as a POW, as well as his dedication to aerospace research, exemplify his bravery and commitment to our nation. I have no doubt Colonel Kittinger’s numerous achievements will inspire aviators and members of our community for generations to come. I look forward to seeing this bill come to the House floor in the near future.”

Col. Kittinger embodies the best of Seminole County’s legacy of veterans who sacrificed so much for our country.
