I was on my way home from Charleston, SC on Memorial Day 2004 when I detoured thru Aiken, SC to see that my Great-Great-Great-Great, ect Grandfather founded. ( He built a railroad there back in the early 1800's and they named the town after him. It was a neat experienced, and I took some photos of historical markers that told the story.
On my way into town, I stopped by The Memorial Gardens in Aiken, and took a picture. They must have had a wreath laying ceremony that morning, as the flowers were still in place . . .
