Charleston,
SC –
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
issued
the
following
statement
in
honor
of
Veterans
Day:
“Today
we
remember
and
honor
the
sacrifice
of
our
country’s
brave
veterans.
Over
22
million
men
and
women
have
worn
our
nation’s
uniform
and
put
their
lives
on
the
line
for
the
cause
of
freedom.
Their
dedication
will
never
be
forgotten.
“In
South
Carolina,
we
are
blessed
with
a
strong
community
of
nearly
400,000
veterans
in
every
corner
of
our
state.
While
we
pause
to
remember
their
work,
we
must
also
recommit
ourselves
to
fulfilling
the
promises
our
country
has
made
to
our
veterans
--
because
they
deserve
nothing
less.
“With
two
brothers
in
the
military,
I
know
firsthand
the
sacrifices
our
veterans
and
their
families
have
made
in
order
to
protect
and
serve
our
amazing
country.
Their
bravery,
allegiance,
and
heroism
make
me
proud
to
be
an
American.
“May
God
bless
each
of
our
courageous
veterans
-
past
and
present
–
and
their
families.
These
are
true
American
heroes,
and
we
should
continue
to
honor
them
today
and
every
day.”
