Spratt understands needs of South Carolinians

I just want to give extra kudos to U.S. Rep. John Spratt for receiving the Distinguished American Award from the Nation’s Capital Chapter of the Air Force Association. He is truly deserving of this honor. Over the years, Congressman Spratt has been a dedicated supporter of South Carolina’s military bases.

He worked diligently to secure more than $100 million in building projects for Shaw and helped the base remain a viable force in our state. Congressman Spratt has also helped local National Guard units obtain the Army’s top-notch artillery system.

As a decorated Army captain and dedicated patriot, Congressman Spratt understands the needs of South Carolina’s dedicated service men and women.

I don’t think I can say that much for Mick Mulvaney, who is a North Carolina businessman with no military background.
