Veterans are being honored this weekend on National Wreaths Across America (WAA) Day on Saturday, Dec.13, with the help of members from the Eliza Lucas Pinckney Chapter, NSDAR of Charleston. This year’s wreath laying ceremony will be held at noon in the cemetery of Old St. Andrews Parish Church in West Ashley.
