While visiting cemeteries, you may notice coins on headstones of military personnel. A coin left on a grave site is a message to the deceased Soldier’s family that someone has visited the grave to pay respect.
Coins on a Grave
These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of Veterans, especially those who gave their life while serving in America’s military. These meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin. The tradition of leaving coins on the headstones of military personnel dates back to the Roman Empire.
Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him or her in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the Soldier when he or she was killed.

Please join us on Monday, May 29, 2023, at 11 am, as we pay our heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country and protected our freedom.
As a community, we will come together to honor not only our veterans and active military personnel, but also all those who are tirelessly working to keep us safe. We are incredibly grateful for their unwavering commitment and sacrifice.
Leading up to the ceremony, on Friday, May 26th, 2023, we will be decorating over 420 veterans’ graves with flags and carnations. The Hailey Cemetery will be decorated from dusk Friday to dusk Monday May 29th.
This solemn tradition is a way for us to show our appreciation for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Additionally, we will place a Memorial wreath on the Blaine County Veterans monument in the cemetery.
We will keep you up to date on the ceremony, including the event schedule and other important details. The Hailey Cemetery Memorial Day Committee is looking forward to gathering to celebrate our veterans and first responder community.

We honor the true meaning of Memorial Day. While we can never fully repay our debt to America’s fallen warriors and their families, we can remember their service and honor their sacrifice. ~
