For the civilians who don't know :
Thanks Ray! Although I'm a veteran I did not know this. And I feel better knowing about this honorable tradition.For the civilians who don't know :
Leaving a penny at the grave means that you visited. A nickel shows that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together. A dime means you served with him and by leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the Mariner when he was killed.
An OG from day one. LONNNNNNG time no see.Happy Memorial Day, vets, from this US Army vet.
I wish people a peaceful and reflective day.Given the purpose of Memorial Day, it feels weird to wish someone a Happy Memorial Day. What is the right or better way to great someone on Memorial Day?
