As some of you know, Yemassee, SC is close to Beaufort and Parris Island. Parris Island is one of only 2 US Marine training depots. At least 100 Marines are graduated from training at Parris Island into service every single Friday except when big holidays fall on that day. Then, they are moved to the next Monday. Here is how those 2 places are connected in history along with the railroads. Very interesting reading. BTW: This story is where I got my latest signature line. If you were or are a Marine, then you may have heard this before. See bottom of story. Link: https://www.mcrdpi.marines.mil/Centennial-Celebration/Historical-information/8-Yemassee-SC/
