Dear
Friends,
Thank
you
for
subscribing
to
my
weekly
e-newsletter,
and
please
remember
to
follow
me
on
Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
We’re
running
#50DaysOfSouthCarolina
on
my
Twitter
and
Instagram
right
now –
please
join
me
and
share
your
interesting
facts
and
amazing
pictures
of
our
great
state!
Let’s
Unclench
our
Fists,
and
Join
Hands
I
wrote
a
column
for
USA
Today
about
how
our
nation
needs
to
have
a
painful,
productive
conversation
on
race.
But,
and
I
cannot
say
this
any
more
clearly,
killing,
injuring
or
otherwise
targeting
our
law
enforcement
officers
is
absolutely
unacceptable,
and
those
who
do
so
must
face
swift
justice.
We
know
that
the
vast
majority
of
our
nation’s
law
enforcement
officers
are
honest,
hardworking
men
and
women
looking
to
only
do
two
things:
serve
and
protect.
As
we
move
forward
through
this
trying
time,
it
is
imperative
that
we
not
lose
sight
of
our
goal
to
create
a
nation
where
everyone
is
treated
equally.
The
only
way
we
can
do
that
is
to
not
disparage
others,
but
to
treat
them
with
respect.
There
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
we
will
get
through
this
as
a
nation,
stronger
than
we
were
before.
Internships
Available!
I
am
accepting
applications
for
congressional
internships
in
my
Washington,
DC,
North
Charleston,
Columbia
and
Greenville
offices
for
the
Fall
of
2016.
The
intern
program
is
open
to
undergraduate
and
graduate
students
who
have
a
strong
interest
in
public
service,
government
and
press.
The
program
provides
students
with
valuable
work
experience
and
an
opportunity
to
work
with
professionals
in
legislative,
constituent
service,
and
press
roles.
Internship
hours
are
flexible
to
accommodate
students'
course
schedules,
but
generally

a.m.
to

p.m.,

Honoring
Our
Desert
Shield
and
Desert
Storm
Veterans
The
men
and
women
who
have
served
in
our
armed
forces
deserve
to
be
recognized
for
their
willingness
to
defend
our
country
against
those
who
would
harm
us.
On
August
27th,
I
will
host
Desert
Shield
and
Desert
Storm
Honor
Ceremonies
in
Greenville
and
Charleston.
Since
being
elected
to
federal
office,
I
have
hosted
several
honor
ceremonies
for
South
Carolina’s
veterans
in
an
effort
to
show
appreciation
for
all
that
they
and
their
families
have
sacrificed.
In
2012,
World
War
Two
veterans
were
honored,
in
2013,
I
held
two
ceremonies
celebrating
our
Korean
War
era
veterans,
and
in
2014,
our
Vietnam
War
era
veterans
were
honored.
Each
veteran
will
receive
a
special
Senatorial
Certificate
of
Appreciation,
as
well
as
a
pin.
All
interested
veterans
should
register
with
my
office
by
visiting
scott.senate.gov/veterans
or
calling
844-872-7626.
