Have you ever noticed coins on gravestones? These small tokens honor and remember those who served in the military, with each coin carrying a special meaning.
A penny means someone visited to say, “You are not forgotten.” A nickel shows the visitor attended boot camp with the deceased, while a dime signifies they served together. A quarter represents the visitor was there when the soldier passed, marking shared grief.
This tradition expresses respect and keeps memories alive, offering comfort to families while honoring military sacrifices.
Each coin tells a story of connection, gratitude, and the enduring impact of service.
