As you celebrate this Memorial Day weekend, please remember the true meaning of the holiday. Below is a list of 471 names of soldiers who once called the Mount Pleasant area home that gave their lives in service of their country. Some are laid to rest in our local cemeteries, while others rest in graves on the other side of the world. All deserve to be remembered.
