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.
Old St. Andrews Parish Church is an official Wreaths Across America (WAA) location, joining more than 4,900 other locations across the country for National Wreaths Across America Day.
The Eliza Lucas Pinckney Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is one of the sponsorship groups that have raised funds throughout the year to sponsor the placement of more than 200 veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of our fallen service members laid to rest at the Old St. Andrews cemetery.
