Upstate preparing to welcome Marines

On Monday, Marines and their spouses arrive in the Upstate for a few days of rest and relaxation, courtesy of their host families in Keowee Key and other lake communities. Organizers of “Honoring Their Service” encourage residents to line the streets for a parade on Monday. It starts at Southern Wesleyan University at 1:30pm. The community is invited to wear read, white and blue and waive flags as the Marines travel down Highway 93, 123, and 130 before the final destination of Keowee Key.
