Commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz honors military with "Armed Forces Appreciation Celebration"


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- 
Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz hosted an “Armed Forces Appreciation Celebration” on Friday, November 21 at Fire Tower in Doral. About 200 people, both military members and civilians, were invited to join the commissioner in honoring our country’s service men and women. 

“Too often, we forget that the reason we are able to enjoy the freedoms we have are because of the service men and women who spend every day protecting them. It’s important that we take time to appreciate our country’s unsung heroes,” said Commissioner Diaz, who served in the U.S. Marines and is the County’s military liaison.

Attendees enjoyed entertainment including a DJ and live band.
