Of Note this Month...

• This month, the DC initiated a statewide plan to recognize DC employees called to active duty as a result of 9/11 and the war in Iraq by selling "Flags of Freedom" pins statewide. So far, $45,000 has been collected, and the proceeds will be divided evenly among employees affected. Each family has already been sent $20 phone cards with 220 minutes on them so they can call their loved ones.



• There are 293 correctional officers and probation officers and other DC staff members currently on active duty in the Army, Army Reserve, Florida National Guard, Navy, Navy Reserve, Air Force and Air Force Reserve and approximately 386 DC employees with immediate family deployed.
