I did not know this until now.

This is most interesting.....and touching.

Never heard of this before.

I humbly share it with you.

IN GOD WE TRUST

While "Cleaning of the Stones" at the National Cemetery in Holly, I noticed a quarter placed on one of the stones.

Later, I also noticed a nickel placed on another stone, I was so touched with this that I took pictures. (sorry the nickel did not turn out). I Googled about the coins and found this out. I am very proud to share this. A coin left on a headstone lets the deceased soldier's family

know that somebody stopped by to pay their respect.

Leaving a penny means you visited.

A nickel means that you and the deceased soldier trained at boot camp together.

If you served with the soldier, you leave a dime.

A quarter is very significant because it means that you were there when that soldier died.

I AM VERY PROUD TO SHARE THIS.

Mendenhall said he is proud of the U.S. National Cemetery in Fort Smith and pointed out it is the final resting place of Fort Smith native and World War II hero Brigadier Gen. William O. Darby, founder of the U.S. Army Rangers.

The memorial is a 30-foot, bronze American flag.

"This metal remnant was taken from the remains of the Twin Towers, that imploded on September 11th disaster. It was sent over to Israel by the City of New York to be incorperated in this memorial. This metal piece, like the entire monument, is a manifestation of the special relationship between New York and Jerusalem."
