Wreaths Across America remembers Lowcountry veterans
Jasper County Sun Times
Wreaths were placed on the graves of veterans across Beaufort and Jasper counties as part of a nationwide program Dec. 19-20.
A brief ceremony was held in Hardeeville at City Hall, following CDC and state COVID-19 guidelines. Those in attendance were asked to wear masks and practice social distancing. Wreaths were placed on graves at two cemeteries in Hardeeville.
Other cemeteries in Jasper County that participated included Ridgeland, Grahamville, Old Sardis, Grimes, Great Swamp and Gillisonville.
There was not a formal ceremony in Beaufort because of COVID-19 restrictions at national cemeteries, but volunteers placed wreaths on each grave as veterans’ names were said aloud in an act of remembrance.
