MAULDIN, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – On Dec. 14, thousands of wreaths will be placed on the graves of fallen veterans across the Upstate, in observance of National Wreaths Across America Day.
This marks the third year the Mauldin community participates in the traditional ceremony. This is also the third time Mauldin Mayor Pro Tem, Taft Matney, will be able to place a wreath on his father’s grave.
I think we have a duty to make sure our veterans are remembered. And my father, who is at this cemetery… it gives me an opportunity to say thank you to him…
