SOUTH CAROLINA SAYS, ``NO MORE''
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today, men and women will
come together and take a stand against sexual assault at the sixth
annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes march in Columbia, South Carolina.
Men from across the State will don high-heeled shoes and join women
and other community leaders to raise awareness and funds to support
survivors of sexual assault and sexual violence. Just one victim is too
many, and we must stand with survivors to prevent sexual assault.
I am grateful for the Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands, the
South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault,
the Cumbee Center, and countless other organizations for their
advocacy, for their continued efforts to prevent sexual assault, and
for their support to survivors.
Chaired by Ginny Walker, I am grateful my oldest son, State Attorney
General Alan Wilson, will be one of the leaders of the Walk a Mile
today. They are making a difference with efforts to end sexual assault
and sexual violence.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
My sympathy to the family of the late John Duncan of Laurens County,
South Carolina, the father of our colleague Congressman Jeff Duncan.
