AVON PARK AIR FORCE RANGE VISIT

Congressman Darren Soto visited the Avon Park Air Force Range Headquaters this week and met with Lieutenant Colonel Daniel A. Edgar. During his visit, Rep. Soto toured the Range and learned how the officers train the warfighters and care for the facilitiy's 106,000 acres.

After the tour, Rep. Soto awarded Mr. Jose Ortiz and Mr. Robert Tricando with a Congressional Certificate of Special Recognition for their volunteer efforts in the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico after Hurricane Irma.

The Avon Park Air Force Range is vital to Polk County and our nation as a whole for the training they provide to our troops. Congressman Soto will continue to engage in dialogue with the men and women of Avon Park Range, and help provide services and federal resources as needed.
