WASHINGTON,
DC
- In
keeping
with
his
strong
support
of
military
service
members
and
their
families,
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
voted
in
favor
of
passing
the
Gold
Star
Families
Act
today.
The
bill
is
an
amendment
to
the
Veterans’
Oral
History
Project
Act,
and
will
facilitate
the
collection
of
video
and
audio
recordings
of
biographical
histories
by
immediate
family members
of
service
members who
died
as
a
result
of
their
service
during
a
period
of
war.
“We
are
eternally
grateful
for
our
brave
service
members
who
gave
it
their
all
on
the
battlefield,
and
paid
the
ultimate
sacrifice
so
we
can
live
in
a
safer
and
more
secure
country,”
said
Scott.
“Their
stories
should
be
told
and
preserved,
so
future
generations
can
learn
about
their
heroic
and
remarkable
stories
that
have
helped
to
write
our
history.
Our
country
will
never
forget
their
service
and
unconditional
love
for
our
country.
And
thank
you
to
our
Gold
Star
Families,
who
stand
in
a
class
of
their
own,
and
whom
we
owe
so
much
to.
Your
words
will
help
bring
alive
the
legacy
of
your
loved
one.
Having
two
brothers
who
have
served,
I
understand
the
many
sacrifices
our
military
families
endure
and
we
cannot
thank
you
enough.
Your
resiliency
and
strength
are
truly
inspiring.”
