A light rain postponed the American Legion's 9 a.m. Memorial Day ceremony at the Pickens County Courthouse (till 3 p.m. at the American Legion Hut), but two veterans came at 9 a.m. and saluted the American flag in memory of the fallen. They wanted to be known by their first names, David and Bill, and they said that they wanted to remember those who did not come home. (Photos by Karen Brewer, The Pickens County Chronicle)
