What do coins on a veteran's grave mean?

• A penny is just a simple sign that the grave was visited and respects were paid.

• A nickel means that the visitor spent time with the deceased at boot camp.

• If you see a dime, it means that the visitor served with the soldier at some point in time.

• Finally, a quarter indicates that the visitor was present at the time when the deceased fell. 

The money collected, usually goes towards cemetery and gravesite maintenance. Please be respectful anytime you visit a grave.
