EASLEY — The threat of rain did not keep a crowd from taking part in a “Wreaths Across America” ceremony Saturday morning.

The ceremony, which saw wreaths placed upon veterans’ graves, was held at Robinson Memorial Gardens in Easley.

“We’re glad to have each and every one of you here,” American Legion Post 52 Commander Bones Wilson said. “Each and every individual, I thank you for coming out and supporting this, our mission and the families that are all buried here.”

The crowd assembled “a lot of work to do today,” he said.

“We have over 300 wreaths to place just in this one section,” Wilson said. “We’re placing 25 wreaths at the mausoleum. That’s up 100 wreaths from the time you were out here last year. Each year, it grows more and more.”

In addition to American Legion members, Girl Scout Service Unit 631, Boy Scout Troop 37, members of the Trail Guides and the Knights of Columbus
