The American Legion National Commander Dan K. Wiley praised South Carolina’s longtime support for veterans as he delivered remarks to a joint assembly of South Carolina lawmakers in the historic state capitol. After citing a series of veterans benefits to include exempting military pensions from state income tax, property tax relief and the funding of state-of-the-art nursing homes, Wiley said, “South Carolina has always honored the service of veterans, regardless of whether they are a teenager training today at Fort Jackson or a soldier who served long before any of us were born.”
