On the recordNovember 4, 2011
Today I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Neal Patel, a committed staff member in the office of the Second Congressional District of South Carolina. After little more than a year, Neal is departing the office to join Congressman Charles Boustany's staff and serve as his communications director to further the Republican plans to create jobs. A native of Nichols, South Carolina, Neal is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and Charleston School of Law. I have worked with his parents, Ashvin and Suwarna Patel in the motel industry for over 30 years, and I know they are proud of their son's achievements. Neal has been a tremendous asset for the people of the Second Congressional District. From his early days as an intern to now communications director, Neal has represented our office with enthusiasm and professionalism. It is with sincere gratitude that I would like to thank Neal for his dedication. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
