South Carolina State Museum’s new World War II Exhibit unveiled at D-Day 80th Anniversary Salute
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – As the nation continues to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, dozens came out to the South Carolina State Museum on Saturday for a special event marking the pivotal World War II battle. The museum also used the occasion to unveil a new World War II exhibit, highlighting South Carolinians’ contributions during the global conflict.
The 80th anniversary D-Day salute at the South Carolina State Museum Saturday kicked off with an honorary ceremony in the morning, commemorating those who fought in the historic battle on the beaches of Normandy… which turned the tide of World War II…
“It makes you proud to be an American, makes you proud to see how people still remember those terrible days,” said Vietnam Veteran Charlton Blanks.
The museum had special screenings and performances scheduled throughout the day, they also unveiled a new exhibit, which takes visitors back to the 1940s, as many young soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Shared Sacrifice: South Carolina in World War II exhibition gallery highlights stories of military personnel from across South Carolina and their contributions in World War II.
“We were overjoyed to get support from different folks as we got this exhibition together,” Exhibit Curator Dr. Ramon Jackson, said, “I’m just thrilled to be able to be able to share a few stories from South Carolinians and their families who contributed to the freedoms we enjoy today.”
165th Infantry Brigade Commander Col. David Uthlaut was the honorary speaker at Saturday’s commemoration. He reflected on the legacies of those soldiers who came before him.
“As I’ve thought about other conflicts, I try to put myself in the shoes of the individuals who were there to understand, the fears, the senses that they were experiencing and to tell those stories really just to humanize what is often a very heroic action from the individuals that were there.”
The Charleston native feels the World War II exhibit’s grand opening could not have come at a better time, coinciding with the 80th Anniversary Salute.
“As conflicts happen from year to year, they don’t happen in every generation,” Uthlaut said, “Understanding the total cost of war and not glorifying the war itself can glorify and recognize those who fought.”
The exhibit will be on display at the museum for the next year. Many of the artifacts in the Shared Sacrifice exhibit were donated by people across the state.

Nearly three years after disgraced lawyer Alex Murdaugh was convicted of slaughtering his wife and son, he is keeping his head down and nose clean while his lawyers craft an appeal.
The imprisoned scion of a South Carolina legal dynasty is working a prison job, staying largely out of trouble, and pressing forward with his case, according to a report.
Murdaugh, 57, is serving two life sentences without parole for the June 2021 killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.
He is also serving concurrent 40-year federal and 27-year state sentences for financial crimes.
South Carolina Department of Corrections records show Murdaugh has worked as a wardkeeper’s assistant since August 2023.
A wardkeeper’s assistant is responsible for day-to-day operations at a prison, such as helping manage the housing unit where inmates live.
That same month, he was disciplined for feeding information to a documentary crew and barred from phone use and canteen purchases for 30 days, according to his inmate record. He has remained infraction-free since.
His attorney, Dick Harpootlian, said Murdaugh spends much of his time focused on his appeal.
“You can talk to him, unlike normal clients who have no concept of the appellate process or how all this works,” Harpootlian told the Daily Mail. “He is interested because he is a lawyer, so we talk about where we’re at and what we think the grave issues are with the case and what our weaknesses are.”
Harpootlian said they speak weekly and described his client as being in good spirits.
“I think Alex understands he did a bad thing in stealing all that money,” Harpootlian said. “He is adamant he didn’t kill Paul and Maggie. He always has been … and when we get a fair trial, I think the jury will determine he didn’t do it.”
Murdaugh is hopeful about a new trial, his attorney said, but cautioned the inmate is “not confident of anything.”
Behind the scenes, the family dynamic appears far more strained.
Murdaugh’s surviving son, Buster, and daughter-in-law, Brooklynn, have stayed away, a source told the outlet.
The insider said Buster carries “a lot of anger about the loss of his mom and brother” and avoids discussing the case.
“Whether or not Alex killed them, he definitely did enough to tarnish Buster’s name forever, and he’s angry about that,” the source said.
Murdaugh’s appeal heads back to court Feb. 11, when his legal team and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office will argue before the state Supreme Court in Columbia.
The appeal centers largely on allegations that former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill tampered with the jury during Murdaugh’s murder trial.
Hill pleaded guilty in December to obstruction of justice, perjury, and two counts of misconduct in office after admitting she showed sealed crime scene photos to a reporter and lied about it.
She also admitted to promoting her book about the trial through her public office.
Hill was sentenced to probation. Prosecutors said they found insufficient evidence to prove jury tampering.
Attorneys for Murdaugh argue that Hill’s conduct tainted the trial and jurors should not have heard extensive testimony about his financial crimes.
“By the time the jury heard two-and-a-half weeks of testimony about him stealing $12 million from invalids and orphans, he was so vilified it didn’t matter what [Murdaugh] said on the stand,” Harpootlian said.
Prosecutors maintain the verdict was sound.
Former South Carolina Supreme Court Justice Jean Toal previously ruled Hill’s conduct did not affect the outcome.
Harpootlian said he still believes two shooters carried out the killings.
“There is strategic evidence to indicate that’s correct,” he said. “Two different guns shooting two different people … The forensics supports two people [committing the crime].”
