Veterans

Sending our troops overseas, making sure those who have come home receive the very best healthcare, the applicability of military skills in the private sector — you name it — all these issues have affected both me and my family personally.
Like many South Carolinians, most of my family are military veterans. I am the daughter of U.S. Army retired Brigadier General James E. Mace, who saw two tours of combat in Vietnam and another in the 1964 Dominican Republic coup d’etat.
I am enormously supportive of all those who have served our country and will strongly fight for them in Congress, because to me, they’re family.
And Parris Island is part of this family—not only here in Beaufort, but to our entire state. Since 1915, the birthplace of Marines has always called the Lowcountry home and I will do everything possible in Congress to see it remains so.

More on Veterans
“The Biden-Harris Administration shamelessly turned the VA into a campaign arm with Executive Order 14019, prioritizing partisan voter registration over serving our veterans. Veterans fought for our freedoms, and they deserve better than being used as political pawns."
"The VA should be focused on caring for those who served, not doubling as a campaign office in Michigan. The Biden-Harris Administration crossed a line with Executive Order 14019, using the VA for partisan voter registration. Every document, email, and conversation involved must be fully investigated to ensure the VA is serving veterans, not a political agenda."

The Department of Veterans Affairs should examine how blockchain technology can be used to improve the benefits and services that it provides to veterans, according to a legislative proposal introduced on Tuesday.
The bill from Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., would direct VA to “conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility, potential benefits and risks associated with using distributed ledger technology across various programs and services.”
Washington, D.C. July 30th, 2024 — Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced the "Veterans Affairs Distributed Ledger Innovation Act of 2024." This legislation directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to study the power of distributed ledger technology, otherwise known as blockchain, to revolutionize how veterans receive their benefits and services.
(Washington D.C.) – In a landmark move to address long standing challenges faced by military personnel and their families, a panel of House lawmakers, including Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC-01), has unveiled a comprehensive set of recommendations aimed at significantly enhancing the quality of life for service members. In a report released earlier this month, there are over 30 proposals the panel hopes to translate into law as the foundation of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2025.
May is Military Appreciation Month, and the Lowcountry of South Carolina has deep military heritage, with installations like Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Joint Base Charleston. From the role of Parris Island in transforming civilians into Marines to the Naval Information Warfare Center, our districts military roots run deep.
