"The low murmur of the crowd gradually became silent as a host of men and women began reading the more than 600 names of those from Spartanburg who have died serving this country.
It began at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. People slowly, but steadily, continued to filter in until the actual ceremony began at 3.
A contingent of guests of honor sat in chairs - Gold Star Mothers, who have lost a son or daughter in combat, and Blue Star Mothers, who have (or had) a child serving in the armed forces - while many others brought folding chairs and tried to grab a spot of shade."
