THANK YOU TO SC HEALTH
(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. Madam Speaker, I am grateful to SC
Health and their President, Alex Szkaradek, and their general counsel,
John Pincelli, for their generous donation of 10,000 protective masks
to defeat the Wuhan virus. I had the opportunity to distribute them at
the West Columbia City Hall, welcomed by Mayor Tem Miles and Columbia
Mayor Steve Benjamin. We were also joined by Lexington Sheriff Jay
Koon, and representatives of Richland Sheriff Leon Lott, Aiken Sheriff
Mike Hunt, and Orangeburg Sheriff Leroy Ravenell.
Masks were provided to chambers of commerce for small businesses
represented by Carl Blackstone of Columbia, Richard Skipper of West
Columbia, Mike Taylor of Batesburg-Leesville, Rebecca Hines of Chapin,
Miriam Atria of Lake Murray, Terra Carroll of North Augusta, and Phil
Frye of Blythewood.
The private sector, not just government, is making a difference.
In conclusion, God Bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
