Rankin supports veterans’ needs

I would like to thank state Sen. Luke Rankin for all of his support of the veterans of Horry County and the state of South Carolina. Senator Rankin continually seeks input from veterans. He asks for and takes into consideration all the veterans input. He shows his support of the veterans of Horry County by forming committees made up of veterans and listening to our input.

He was instrumental in helping us receive a new van to transport our disabled veterans to the VA Hospital in Charleston, here again working with a group of veterans who saw a need and asked for his support, which he willingly gave. We could ask for no better champion for veterans than Sen. Luke Rankin.

Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Herbert Laurie Newton, Conway
