Clinic to help vets

We both work very closely with Lowcountry veterans by assisting them with health care, employment and many other benefits, and we are honored to have the opportunity to understand each of their amazing military journeys. We also deeply appreciate their sacrifices and challenges as they access the care they’ve earned.

That’s why we are deeply grateful to the U.S. House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs for authorizing $30.4 million to build a new VA outpatient clinic in Beaufort County. This investment is more than bricks and mortar: It demonstrates a commitment to approximately 17,000 veterans and heroes who deserve timely, high-quality care without long drives or bureaucratic delays.

We would like to commend U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace for her unwavering support of those who have served. From primary care to mental health services, this clinic will provide a state-of-the-art facility that will deliver life-changing resources right here at home.

It’s more than a legislative achievement; it’s a long-overdue tribute to the courage and sacrifice of our veterans.

It’s for our veterans who have served from World War II to the present, for those who answered this nation’s call to service without hesitation. Congresswoman Mace and the rest of the House committee have demonstrated by word and deed their commitment to our veterans, and we are grateful.

Move over for safety

The Post and Courier recently published an article about the state’s move-over law, and I’ve read through it twice only to find that it didn’t fully inform readers of what the law requires.
