Who is Rep Cory Mills married to? All about the Army combat veteran as he goes viral for rescuing 32

Republican and U.S. Representative of Florida Cory Mills, who is also a U.S. Army veteran made headlines on Wednesday, October 11, for successfully helping in the evacuation of 32 American citizens stuck in Israel amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

As per Fox News, Cory Mills helped the stranded Americans in Tel Aviv cross the border to Jordan, from where they were able to book return flights home. The media outlet also reported that Mills was planning to conduct a second rescue mission soon. The Republican told Fox News Digital in a statement that the evacuation was possible with help from the U.S. embassy in Jordan.

"You know, for me, there's a statesman and there's a politician. One acts and the other one talks, and I just couldn't sit there knowing Americans were losing their lives," he stated.

He also added how he knew that there were hundreds and thousands of people still trapped and expressed hope to help them as well in the coming days.

In addition, Cory Mills mentioned how the mission, although successful, did not go as planned. Initially, he wanted to have an armored vehicle but had to settle for a bus to evacuate the stranded Americans from Tel Aviv and another Israeli city to Jordan. He further mentioned how the people failed to get any help from the U.S. State Department.

Mills said many of the major airlines canceled flights out of Tel Aviv because a rocket fired into the country by Hamas hit close enough to the airport that insurance companies told the airlines they wouldn’t provide full coverage for aircraft, adding to the logistical dilemma of the stranded Americans.

The former army veteran who has been serving in the United States Congress since January 2023 also added:

"I mean, there are Americans who are sitting here dying. There are hostages being taken … lives, that are being lost. And I just feel like when you have an opportunity where you're blessed with the capability to be able to do something about it, how can you not?"

Cory Mills is married to Iraqi refugee Rana Mills, who is now a naturalized citizen of the USA.
