June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, a time to raise the level of attention to debilitating dementias. I appreciate the dedication of Taylor Wilson, the Director of Government Affairs for the Alzheimer's Association of South Carolina. Alzheimer's is a brain disorder which slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. It is not a normal part of aging but a result of complex changes in the brain that start years before symptoms appear. I am grateful for the Lexington Medical Center Carroll Campbell Place, in loving memory of former and late Governor Carroll Campbell. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are nearly 6 million people in the U.S. that have Alzheimer's and related dementias. We honor those families in America facing a dementia diagnosis, while supporting the hope of all that through research, we can find a prevention or treatment for this fatal disease. In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected America for 20 years in the global war on terrorism as it continues moving from the Afghanistan safe haven to America. ____________________
