Homegrown Heroes: The Lowcountry in World War II

Description

This event will be free and open to the public and feature a performance by the one and only Parris Island Marine band. The Center will also offer children’s games as well as a face painting station, a bouncy castle, WWII reenactors and more. Every day, more and more stories are lost to time, and the Morris Center’s objective is to preserve and celebrate these amazing tales through this exhibit. Help celebrate at 1:00pm for a special ceremony honoring the Lowcountry’s very own World War II veterans, the same brave men and women whose stories will be featured in the exhibit. At 2:00pm, join Dr. Fritz Hamer, Curator of History and Archivist at the SC Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum, for a special presentation on German prisoner of war (POWs) camps located in South Carolina. We look forward to seeing you!
