Florida Governor Crist at TRACK part 1 of 2

Governor Charlie Crist today signed four bills into law that will benefit and honor Floridas military members and veterans during a visit to Wounded Warriors Projects TRACK Center. The new legislation enhances educational and employment opportunities for Floridas veterans and National Guardsmen.

The brave men and women who serve in our nations Armed Forces deserve our deepest appreciation and constant support, said Governor Crist. While we can never truly repay them for their sacrifices, we can demonstrate our gratitude through these legislative initiatives along with our prayers for their safety and for their families.

Governor Crist signed the legislation at the Wounded Warrior Projects TRACK Center in Jacksonville. The center is the first education center in the nation designed specifically for wounded warriors. TRACK students reside in Jacksonville for a 12-month holistic training experience for the mind, body and spirit. The first half of the program is primarily classroom-based, with support services including mental health counseling, performance training, and life skills classes. Classes are provided through the Florida Community College at Jacksonville (FCCJ), and credit can be applied toward a bachelors or associates degree, or vocational certificate. The second half of the program consists of an employment internship with local employers in the areas of information technology, general business, logistics, and more.

Gvnr Crist will be the ONLY politician -city official,etc that I want to see reelected or higher office.

Here in Miami the politicians dont do a thing but speeches. The standards are incredibly low and corruption is a horror.

The gvnr who I actually contacted has actually gotten things done and did them without asking for a thing.

He did his job and is inclusive for all ethnicities UNLIKE many Miami politicians . I like him a lot.
