Congressman (Sheriff) John Rutherford was the keynote speaker at the JAX Chamber Downtown Council meeting this morning. It was great seeing him and hearing about the issues he is dealing with in Washington DC. Congressman Rutherford is a strong advocate for the military and military veterans. His work with Congressman Al Lawson on the designation our Cecil Field POW-MIA Memorial as the National POW-MIA Memorial and Museum is appreciated. This national museum will provide a place for families and visitors to remember and honor those service men and women who may still be prisoners of war or missing in action.
We are blessed to have Congressman Rutherford representing Northeast Florida as he is on the House Committee on Appropriations.
In addition, he is on the following Subcommittees:
– Homeland Security
– Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies
– Transportation, Housing and Urban Development
We thank you for your service to our district!
