No one better than Mace
I just want … everyone to be aware of the situation that Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s office quickly went to work on for a constituent. My dad filed for VA benefits in November 2023. Despite being exempt due to a wife and 2-year-old son to support, he volunteered for the Navy during World War II, while his brothers were in the Army and Army Air Force at the time.
Since last November, his application for benefits has been delayed with no response except letters saying someone is sorry for the inconvenience. He is 101 years old — not ready for delays of anything, especially benefits he has earned.
So last week we contacted the Beaufort office of Nancy Mace. Lisa, the district director, took my call and listened to his dilemma. Then she promised that she would look into the matter and keep us posted.
Two days later, yes, after six months of waiting, I was contacted by a representative from the VA who is now actively working the case. This is classic, old-fashioned, genuine representative government helping a constituent deal with the bureaucracy. Unfortunately unusual in this age of camera-addicted politicians who are only interested in reelection.
So, with this congressional district full of active and retired military patriots, I suggest that there is no one who can better serve as our Congressional representative than Ms. Mace.
