On this day of remembrance, our team commemorates the tragedy of loss and also the marks of heroism that occurred 25 years ago today on September 11, 2001.

In the years since, we see even more importance in honoring the sacred memory of those who had their lives taken as well as those who gave their lives responding to the attacks.

Our resilience and ability to unite as citizens of the United States represent the best of who we are as a country, and on this Patriot Day, we join our members in taking a moment to reflect and carry forward with pride in our country.

Thank you, Senator Ross Turner, for your advocacy to fight organized retail crime and protect communities across South Carolina!

Carolinas Organized Retail Crime Alliance - CORCA

I’m honored to receive the SC Organized Retail Crime Alliance’s Legislator Award, but even more proud that we turned action into law last year. With the signing of S.159 into law, we’ve strengthened South Carolina’s ability to crack down on organized retail theft, protect our small businesses, and ensure those who conspire to steal and profit from stolen goods face real consequences. This isn’t just recognition; it’s results for our community. 💪🏼
