Florida Gov.-elect Rick Scott thanked Florida National Guard soldiers for their "unbelievable sacrifice" during a visit on Saturday, a Florida Army and Air National Guard spokesman said.
Scott, wife Ann Scott and Lt. Gov.-elect Jennifer Carroll made a trip to Fort Stewart, Ga., on Saturday, Lt. Col. Ron Tittle said in a release.
Tittle said Scott was there to meet with soldiers who returned Friday after a nearly one-year deployment and to get an overview of the Florida National Guard's homecoming process.
Speaking to more than 700 soldiers of the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team at the installation's theater, Scott thanked them for their sacrifices, Tittle said.
"Let me tell you from the bottom of my heart that I am appreciative of what you did," Scott said, in statements distributed by the Florida National Guard. "You made an unbelievable sacrifice to go overseas and defend our country."
According to the release, Scott asked the soldiers in attendance how many of them were in need of employment. Tittle said more than half raised their hands.
