Tim Walberg: “You can't lose your rights because you hire somebody.”

When we hire veterans, we strengthen our communities, our economy, and our future.

With this recognition, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce has once again shown why our community is such a powerful engine for innovation, collaboration, and local growth.

From his courageous work as a Sea Devil helping to save the lives of downed pilots, to his decades of service protecting his community in the Riverview Police Force, Patrick has demonstrated unwavering dedication, courage, and sacrifice.

Their long‑term commitment to strengthening Jackson County through strategic planning, strong partnerships, and a focus on quality of life continues to deliver meaningful results for families, businesses, and the future of our community.
