COLUMBIA, S.C. – The South Carolina men’s basketball team visited with a special group of heroes Tuesday afternoon, spending time with veterans at the William Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia.

“I think it means a great deal to the veterans and the employees to see the University of South Carolina basketball team come out and celebrate our veterans,” said Timothy McMurry, the center’s director.

Junior Duane Notice and freshmen P.J. Dozier, Raymond Doby, Chris Silva and John Ragin took part in the afternoon’s events, which included a tour of the community center and one-on-one visits with veterans in the Warrior’s Walk hospice wing.

“It was a team-bonding experience and a very humbling experience,” Notice said. “Basketball takes us to very different places in life and I feel like it took us here to appreciate the veterans. I’m very adamant about my support for these men and women, and I had a great experience here today.”

The student-athletes also had the opportunity to visit with some of the youth volunteers who have dedicated themselves to helping the veterans at the hospital. This summer, a national program called “Summer of Service” ensures that the efforts of the VA hospital volunteers are properly recognized.
