Breakfast Club to mark 9/11
Dorchester County Sheriff Ray Nash will moderate a tribute to those lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks at this month's meeting of the Lowcountry GOP Breakfast Club.
The meeting, which will focus on homeland security issues, will be at 9 a.m. Saturday at Kelly's BBQ Restaurant on U.S. Highway 78 near Summerville.
The sheriff's department will demonstrate some of its abilities to respond to local homeland security emergencies with a live tactical hostage rescue exercise. The department's mobile command center will be on-site for public tours, along with specialists and special equipment and gear used for emergency responses.
An honor guard from Eagle Military Academy will serve as the color guard for this event. Active-duty and retired military personnel are encouraged to attend, in uniform, as well as active and retired police, fire, and emergency services personnel, for a special tribute for attending uniformed heroes.
An "open mike" question and answer session will follow the presentations. Breakfast is $6.50.
