Aug. 11 (UPI) -- As Florida prepares to execute its fourth U.S. veteran this year, more than 130 U.S. veterans in nearly every branch of service have requested for Gov. Ron DeSantis to end the state's executions of convicted vets.
A delegation of scores of American veterans will gather Wednesday morning in the state's capital in Tallahassee to issue a plea in a signed letter to DeSantis, imploring the two-term Republican to stop Florida's executions of American military service veterans.
"To execute a veteran who was broken by war and left without adequate care is not justice," the letter by veterans with a combined 1,400 years of service reads in part.
"It is a failure of duty," it added. "It is the final abandonment."
