\"carolina-day-and-sulivans-island-on-june-28-2007-029.jpg\"<\/a> Yesterday was Carolina Day<\/em><\/strong> in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

For many of us, the first thing that comes to mind when we see this is our dear Gamecocks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since we look for any reason to celebrate…<\/p>\n

USC sports, this would seem appropriate\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6a day set aside just for our Gamecocks.<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

For those of us, many of whom are our young children who many have just studies SC history last school year, this is a day to celebrate our heritage.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was no exception.<\/p>\n

\"carolina-day-and-sulivans-island-on-june-28-2007-010.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/placetype>Fort\n<\/placename>Moultrie, one of our fine national parks located on Sullivan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Island near\n<\/place><\/city>Charleston, was in a day of celebration with many programs focusing on Carolina Day<\/em><\/strong>.It all began in the mid 1700s when a young soldier named William Moultrie began a\"carolina-day-and-sulivans-island-on-june-28-2007-005.jpg\"<\/a> political career. <\/span>He became well-known as a man \u00e2\u20ac\u0153who had a large interest in the welfare <\/a>of our country\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and was most instrumental in defending <\/state><\/p>\n<\/place>South<\/state>\n<\/place>Carolina during the Revolutionary War.It was on June 28, 1776 when he and his colleagues successfully defended <\/city>\n<\/place>Charleston against the invading British soldiers. <\/span>This was THE first successful battle to ward off the British\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6thus making history as <\/city>\n<\/place>Carolina<\/em><\/strong> Day.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We attended a reenactment and program celebrating <\/city>Moultrie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life and contributions to <\/state>South Carolina as a military man and politician who helped to get us where we are in <\/state><\/p>\n<\/place>South Carolina now.<\/p>\n

My wish for you today<\/strong> is that you explore the history of the fair state you live in often and participate in the celebrations of historical milestones with your family and friends. <\/span><\/p>\n
