“I am so excited to welcome everyone to Columbia this Saturday to honor our state’s women veterans. From the Upstate to the Lowcountry, South Carolinians know that we are a grateful people who love, cherish, and respect our armed forces.

These women have took on the mantle of leadership and have fought to preserve all of our God-given freedoms. I look forward to having Iowa’s own Senator Joni Ernst, a combat veteran herself, join me in honoring the Palmetto State’s 43,000 women veterans. Hope to see y’all then!”
