about coins left on a tombstone?

While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking certain graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave.

These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of those who gave their life while serving in America's military, and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin.

A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect. Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited.

Verona’s Traditional Memorial Day Ceremonies

The local American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts produce the ceremonies each year.
Traditionally, the Legion portion is usually first, inside Verona Area High School Including the roll call of Verona area veterans who have died. The VFW ceremony includes a performance of “Taps” and a 21-gun salute.
Included in the Legion ceremony will be the presentation and retiring of the colors, patriotic songs, speeches by the VFW Cmdr., Legion Auxiliary and the traditional placing of poppies in the basket during roll call,
The group will then go to the cemetery for the VFW service.
After the ceremonies the Legion Hall will hold a potluck.

PLEASE CHECK THE VERONA PRESS or with the Veterans organizations for the current schedule.
