VIDEO: INTERVIEWS WITH WWII VETERANS VISITING MEMORIAL

Two weeks ago Sen. DeMint had the privilege of joining more than 100 South Carolina WWII veterans at the National WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. For many of the veterans, it was their first time seeing the memorial, which opened to the public in April 2004 -- 17 years after it was proposed and three years after construction had begun. WSOCTV.com Eyewitness News recently posted a video of the event, during which reporter Scott MacFarlane interviewed several veterans about their experiences that day. MacFarlane also spent a few minutes talking with DeMint, whose own father served in WWII.
