Its a Veterans thing
Have you ever been to a veterans grave site and saw a penny, a nickel, a dime, or a quarter resting on their grave? Here is what it is all about.
A Penny left on a grave means you served with that person
A nickel means you went to boot camp with them
A dime means you went to war with them
A quarter means you were there when he gave the ultimate sacrifice
Its a way of letting family members and friends know that a buddy visited the grave
Would not go through
That's a great tradition "G", but there should be one more token. One of thanks for all of us who weren't there and didn't know the soldier but he fought for and give us our freedom just the same.
Thank you for my Freedom,

That's pretty cool.....never heard of that.....
Google coins on veterans tombstones or graves.....lots of info there about this. I am a vet but I was not aware of this untill the other day. I have seen the coins before but did not know what it was all about.

Seen them myself and wondered what it was about. Now I know. Thanks for the education.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Mr. "G". That is pretty cool. I had never heard of it before.
That's very cool. Have seen those coins on gravestones, but didn't know the background behind it. Thanks.
