This past Friday St. Paul's Garden Club dedicated a Blue Star Memorial Marker in historic Meggett, SC. The marker was the Presidents Project of Dena Clair and was attended by members of VFW, David Stoudenmire, President of Garden Club of SC, Peggy Benton, Director of East Lowcountry Garden Clubs, Barbara Bokor, Garden Club of SC, Irene Vaughn Green, guest speaker, members of St. Pauls Garden Club, Meggett Mayor Buster Herrington, and Ravenel Mayor Steve Tumblestone. Refreshments were provided by the kind ladies of SPGC who put together an array of sandwiches and desserts for the event. Barbara Bokor explained the origins of the Blue Star and Gold Star markers and highway markers and the differences between them. Irene gave a very lively speech on her adventures as a nurse in Vietnam and what it means to veterans to be thanked for their service.
Veterans Day is this Saturday. Have you thanked a Veteran today?
